Root spotted alone

A fan spotted Joe Root walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of July 27, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Joe back on the market?

A rep for Joe Root was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the athlete was splitting hit the internet Tuesday (July 28), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Joe’s phone number?”

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

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