DeLillo spotted alone

A fan spotted Don DeLillo walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of October 9, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Don back on the market?

A rep for Don DeLillo was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the author was splitting hit the internet Saturday (October 10), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Don’s phone number?”

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

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