Thune spotted alone

A fan spotted John Thune walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of April 28, 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 Thune was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the politician was splitting hit the internet Wednesday (April 29), 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 (Thune spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?
