Break-Up Rumors, Is Craig Venter Single Again?

Venter spotted alone

A fan spotted Craig Venter walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of March 19, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Craig back on the market?

A rep for Craig Venter was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the scientist was splitting hit the internet Friday (March 20), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Craig’s phone number?”

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

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