Is the Noir Désir ex-lead singer officially back on the market?

Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Noir Désir ex-lead singer Bertrand Cantat, 62, and his partner had split up. Is the French singer really single again?

UPDATE 19/05/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Cantat spotted alone

A fan spotted Bertrand Cantat walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of May 17, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Bertrand back on the market?

A rep for Bertrand Cantat was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the singer was splitting hit the internet Monday (May 18), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Bertrand’s phone number?”

“So very sad… Those 2 were so great as a couple. So cute together.”

Based on the facts (Cantat spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?
