Allende spotted alone

A fan spotted Isabel Allende walking alone, probably coming back from picking up her mail at the end of her several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of August 30, 2026. Was she all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “She was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Isabel back on the market?

A rep for Isabel Allende was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the author was splitting hit the internet Monday (August 31), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Isabel’s phone number?”

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