Brown spotted alone

A fan spotted Gordon Brown walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of January 7, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Gordon back on the market?

A rep for Gordon Brown was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the politician was splitting hit the internet Thursday (January 8), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Gordon’s phone number?”

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

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