Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that John Wells, 69, and his partner had split up. Is the director best known for Burnt or August: Osage County really single again?

UPDATE 27/04/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Wells spotted alone

A fan spotted John Wells walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of April 25, 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 Wells was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the director was splitting hit the internet Sunday (April 26), 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 (Wells spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?
