Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Jan Kounen, 62, and his partner had split up. Is the director best known for the movie 99 francs really single again?

UPDATE 18/07/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Kounen spotted alone

A fan spotted Jan Kounen walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of July 16, 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 Kounen was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the director was splitting hit the internet Friday (July 17), 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 (Kounen spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?
