Hough spotted alone

A fan spotted Derek Hough walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of March 17, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Derek back on the market?

A rep for Derek Hough was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the dancer - known for having been romantically involved with Nina Dobrev - was splitting hit the internet Wednesday (March 18), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Derek’s phone number?”

“So very sad… Those 2 were so great as a couple. So cute together.”
— Crystal (@crystal_clear) March 18, 2026

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