Is the 65-year-old director officially back on the market?

Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Brian Helgeland, 65, and his partner had split up. Is the director best known for Legend or A Knight's Tale really single again?

UPDATE 22/02/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Helgeland spotted alone

A fan spotted Brian Helgeland walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of February 20, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Brian back on the market?

A rep for Brian Helgeland was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the director was splitting hit the internet Saturday (February 21), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Brian’s phone number?”

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

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