Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Chen Kaige, 73, and his partner had split up. Is the director best known for the movie Farewell My Concubine really single again?

UPDATE 15/03/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Chen spotted alone

A fan spotted Chen Kaige walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of March 13, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Kaige back on the market?

A rep for Chen Kaige was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the director was splitting hit the internet Saturday (March 14), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Kaige’s phone number?”

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

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