Gentry spotted alone

A fan spotted Bobbie Gentry walking alone, probably coming back from picking up her mail at the end of her several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of June 25, 2026. Was she all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “She was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Bobbie back on the market?

A rep for Bobbie Gentry was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the singer was splitting hit the internet Friday (June 26), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Bobbie’s phone number?”
