Bekele spotted alone

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

Is Kenenisa back on the market?

A rep for Kenenisa Bekele was not immediately available for comment.

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

“Has anyone Kenenisa’s phone number?”

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

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