Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Edwy Plenel, 73, and his partner had split up. Is the Mediapart's founder-editor really single again?

UPDATE 28/04/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Plenel spotted alone

A fan spotted Edwy Plenel walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of April 26, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Edwy back on the market?

A rep for Edwy Plenel was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the journalist was splitting hit the internet Monday (April 27), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Edwy’s phone number?”

“So very sad… Those 2 were so great as a couple. So cute together.”
— Crystal (@crystal_clear) April 27, 2026

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