Is the 71-year-old musician officially back on the market?

Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Elvis Costello, 71, and his partner had split up. Is the musician best known for hit songs like I Want You, Alison or She really single again?

UPDATE 11/01/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Costello spotted alone

A fan spotted Elvis Costello walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of January 9, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Elvis back on the market?

A rep for Elvis Costello was not immediately available for comment.

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

“Has anyone Elvis’s phone number?”

“So very sad… Those 2 were so great as a couple. So cute together.”

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