Tartt spotted alone

A fan spotted Donna Tartt walking alone, probably coming back from picking up her mail at the end of her several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of June 9, 2026. Was she all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “She was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Donna back on the market?

A rep for Donna Tartt was not immediately available for comment.

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

“Has anyone Donna’s phone number?”

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