A fan spotted Karl Malone walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of February 22, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Karl back on the market?

A rep for Karl Malone was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the basketball player was splitting hit the internet Monday (February 23), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Karl’s phone number?”
