O'Sullivan spotted alone

A fan spotted Gilbert O'Sullivan walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of April 24, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Gilbert back on the market?

A rep for Gilbert O'Sullivan was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the singer was splitting hit the internet Saturday (April 25), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Gilbert’s phone number?”

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

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