Peterson spotted alone

A fan spotted Jordan Peterson walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of July 27, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Jordan back on the market?

A rep for Jordan Peterson was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the author was splitting hit the internet Tuesday (July 28), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Jordan’s phone number?”

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

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