Hartnett spotted alone

A fan spotted Josh Hartnett walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of October 15, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Josh back on the market?

A rep for Josh Hartnett was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the actor - known for having been romantically involved with Amanda Seyfried, Julia Stiles, Rihanna, Mischa Barton, Daria Werbowy, Helena Christensen, Laura Harris, Tamsin Egerton, Kelly Carlson or Scarlett Johansson - was splitting hit the internet Friday (October 16), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Josh’s phone number?”

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

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