Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Jan Garbarek, 79, and his partner had split up. Is the musician best known for his album Officium really single again?

Garbarek spotted alone

A fan spotted Jan Garbarek walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of March 17, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Jan back on the market?

A rep for Jan Garbarek was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the musician was splitting hit the internet Wednesday (March 18), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Jan’s phone number?”

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

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