Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Carlos Santana, 79, and his partner had split up. Is the guitarist best known for hit songs like Maria Maria, Smooth or Oye Como Va really single again?

Santana spotted alone

A fan spotted Carlos Santana walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of September 15, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Carlos back on the market?

A rep for Carlos Santana was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the guitarist was splitting hit the internet Wednesday (September 16), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Carlos’s phone number?”

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

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