Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Stranglers drummer Jet Black, 87, and his partner had split up. Is the British musician really single again?

UPDATE 19/07/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Black spotted alone

A fan spotted Jet Black walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of July 17, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Jet back on the market?

A rep for Jet Black was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the musician was splitting hit the internet Saturday (July 18), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Jet’s phone number?”

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

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