Mortimer spotted alone

A fan spotted Emily Mortimer walking alone, probably coming back from picking up her mail at the end of her several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of October 3, 2026. Was she all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “She was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Emily back on the market?

A rep for Emily Mortimer was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the actress was splitting hit the internet Sunday (October 4), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Emily’s phone number?”

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