Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Eileen Atkins, 61, and her partner had split up. Is the actress best known for her roles in The Crown or Doc Martin really single again?

UPDATE 17/05/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Atkins spotted alone

A fan spotted Eileen Atkins walking alone, probably coming back from picking up her mail at the end of her several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of May 15, 2026. Was she all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “She was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Eileen back on the market?

A rep for Eileen Atkins was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the actress was splitting hit the internet Saturday (May 16), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Eileen’s phone number?”

“Hate to see Atkins split up, but I thought the pairing was a little weird.”

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