Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Backstreet Boys singer Howie Dorough, 53, and his partner had split up. Is the American singer really single again?

UPDATE 16/10/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Dorough spotted alone

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

Is Howie back on the market?

A rep for Howie Dorough was not immediately available for comment.

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

“Has anyone Howie’s phone number?”

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

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