Steel spotted alone

A fan spotted John Steel walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of July 13, 2025. 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 Steel was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the musician was splitting hit the internet Monday (July 14), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone John’s phone number?”
