Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Haile Gebrselassie, 53, and his partner had split up. Is the Ethiopian athlete really single again?

Gebrselassie spotted alone

A fan spotted Haile Gebrselassie walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of June 14, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Haile back on the market?

A rep for Haile Gebrselassie was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the athlete was splitting hit the internet Monday (June 15), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Haile’s phone number?”

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

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