Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that David Cook, 43, and his partner had split up. Is the winner of American Idol 2008 really single again?

UPDATE 12/01/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Cook spotted alone

A fan spotted David Cook walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of January 10, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is David back on the market?

A rep for David Cook was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the singer was splitting hit the internet Sunday (January 11), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone David’s phone number?”

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

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