Joel spotted alone

A fan spotted Billy Joel walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of January 11, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Billy back on the market?

A rep for Billy Joel was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the singer - known for having been romantically involved with Dina Meyer, Katie Lee, Christie Brinkley or Elle Macpherson - was splitting hit the internet Monday (January 12), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Billy’s phone number?”

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

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