Smith spotted alone

A fan spotted Emmitt Smith walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of April 10, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Emmitt back on the market?

A rep for Emmitt Smith was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the athlete was splitting hit the internet Saturday (April 11), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Emmitt’s phone number?”
