Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Hall & Oates guitarist John Oates, 77, and his partner had split up. Is the American singer really single again?
UPDATE 28/07/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Oates spotted alone
A fan spotted John Oates walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of July 26, 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 Oates was not immediately available for comment.
Truth or rumor, when news that the singer was splitting hit the internet Monday (July 27), 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 (Oates spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?
