Mbatha-Raw spotted alone

A fan spotted Gugu Mbatha-Raw walking alone, probably coming back from picking up her mail at the end of her several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of January 31, 2026. Was she all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “She was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Gugu back on the market?

A rep for Gugu Mbatha-Raw was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the actress was splitting hit the internet Sunday (February 1), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Gugu’s phone number?”

“Hate to see Mbatha-Raw split up, but I thought the pairing was a little weird.”

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