Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Stranglers bassist Jean-Jacques Burnel, 74, and his partner had split up. Is the French musician really single again?
UPDATE 17/03/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Burnel spotted alone
A fan spotted Jean-Jacques Burnel walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of March 15, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”
Is Jean-Jacques back on the market?
A rep for Jean-Jacques Burnel was not immediately available for comment.
Truth or rumor, when news that the musician was splitting hit the internet Monday (March 16), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:
“Has anyone Jean-Jacques’s phone number?”

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

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