Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Don McLean, 80, and his partner had split up. Is the singer best known for his hit song American Pie really single again?

McLean spotted alone

A fan spotted Don McLean walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of September 15, 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 McLean was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the singer was splitting hit the internet Wednesday (September 16), 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 (McLean spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?
