Chappelle spotted alone

A fan spotted Dave Chappelle walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of January 8, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Dave back on the market?

A rep for Dave Chappelle was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the comedian was splitting hit the internet Friday (January 9), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Dave’s phone number?”

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

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