Is the 80-year-old actress officially back on the market?

Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Brenda Blethyn, 80, and her partner had split up. Is the actress best known for her role in Pride & Prejudice really single again?

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

Blethyn spotted alone

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

Is Brenda back on the market?

A rep for Brenda Blethyn was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the actress 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 Brenda’s phone number?”

“Hate to see Blethyn split up, but I thought the pairing was a little weird.”

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