Coen spotted alone

A fan spotted Joel Coen walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of September 12, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Joel back on the market?

A rep for Joel Coen was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the director was splitting hit the internet Sunday (September 13), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Joel’s phone number?”
