Malkovich spotted alone

A fan spotted John Malkovich walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of January 9, 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 Malkovich was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the actor was splitting hit the internet Saturday (January 10), 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 (Malkovich spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?
