Rappeneau spotted alone

A fan spotted Jean-Paul Rappeneau walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of February 21, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Jean-Paul back on the market?

A rep for Jean-Paul Rappeneau was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the director was splitting hit the internet Sunday (February 22), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Jean-Paul’s phone number?”

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

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