Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Libertines frontman Carl Barât, 47, and his partner had split up. Is the English singer really single again?

UPDATE 18/05/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Barât spotted alone

A fan spotted Carl Barât walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of May 16, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Carl back on the market?

A rep for Carl Barât was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the singer was splitting hit the internet Sunday (May 17), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Carl’s phone number?”

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

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