Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Joachim Gauck, 86, and his partner had split up. Is the German President really single again?

UPDATE 17/03/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Gauck spotted alone

A fan spotted Joachim Gauck 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 Joachim back on the market?

A rep for Joachim Gauck was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the politician 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 Joachim’s phone number?”

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

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