Thompson spotted alone

A fan spotted Kenan Thompson 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 Kenan back on the market?

A rep for Kenan Thompson 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 Kenan’s phone number?”
