Is the 44-year-old actor officially back on the market?

Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Jared Padalecki, 44, and his partner had split up. Is the actor best known for his role on the television series Gilmore Girls really single again?

UPDATE 02/10/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Padalecki spotted alone

A fan spotted Jared Padalecki walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of September 30, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Jared back on the market?

A rep for Jared Padalecki was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the actor was splitting hit the internet Thursday (October 1), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Jared’s phone number?”

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

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