Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Ken Watanabe, 66, and his partner had split up. Is the actor best known for his roles in Inception or Batman Begins really single again?

UPDATE 12/07/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Watanabe spotted alone

A fan spotted Ken Watanabe walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of July 10, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Ken back on the market?

A rep for Ken Watanabe was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the actor was splitting hit the internet Saturday (July 11), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Ken’s phone number?”

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

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