Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Smiths ex-guitarist Johnny Marr, 62, and his partner had split up. Is the English musician really single again?

UPDATE 19/05/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Marr spotted alone

A fan spotted Johnny Marr walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of May 17, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Johnny back on the market?

A rep for Johnny Marr was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the musician was splitting hit the internet Monday (May 18), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Johnny’s phone number?”

“So very sad… Those 2 were so great as a couple. So cute together.”

Based on the facts (Marr spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?
