Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, 64, and his partner had split up. Is the American musician really single again?

UPDATE 07/02/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Smith spotted alone

A fan spotted Chad Smith walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of February 5, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Chad back on the market?

A rep for Chad Smith was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the musician was splitting hit the internet Friday (February 6), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Chad’s phone number?”

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

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