Smithers spotted alone

A fan spotted Jan Smithers walking alone, probably coming back from picking up her mail at the end of her several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of November 12, 2026. Was she all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “She was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Jan back on the market?

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

Truth or rumor, when news that the actress - known for having been romantically involved with James Brolin - was splitting hit the internet Friday (November 13), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Jan’s phone number?”

“Hate to see Smithers split up, but I thought the pairing was a little weird.”

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