Benedict spotted alone

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

Is Dirk back on the market?

A rep for Dirk Benedict was not immediately available for comment.

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

“Has anyone Dirk’s phone number?”

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

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