Reid spotted alone

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

Is Joy back on the market?

A rep for Joy Reid was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the journalist 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 Joy’s phone number?”

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