Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that John Lithgow, 80, and his partner had split up. Is the actor best known for his roles in Dexter or 3rd Rock from the Sun really single again?

UPDATE 17/07/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Lithgow spotted alone

A fan spotted John Lithgow walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of July 15, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is John back on the market?

A rep for John Lithgow was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the actor was splitting hit the internet Thursday (July 16), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone John’s phone number?”

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

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