McGovern spotted alone

A fan spotted Elizabeth McGovern walking alone, probably coming back from picking up her mail at the end of her several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of February 25, 2026. Was she all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “She was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Elizabeth back on the market?

A rep for Elizabeth McGovern was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the actress - known for having been romantically involved with Sean Penn - was splitting hit the internet Thursday (February 26), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Elizabeth’s phone number?”

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

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