Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Blondie guitarist Chris Stein, 76, and his partner had split up. Is the American guitarist really single again?

Stein spotted alone
A fan spotted Chris Stein walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of January 14, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”
Is Chris back on the market?
A rep for Chris Stein was not immediately available for comment.
Truth or rumor, when news that the guitarist was splitting hit the internet Thursday (January 15), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:
“Has anyone Chris’s phone number?”

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

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