Break-Up Rumors, Is Khaled Hosseini Single Again?

Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Khaled Hosseini, 61, and his partner had split up. Is the author of the Kite Runner really single again?

UPDATE 01/09/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Hosseini spotted alone

A fan spotted Khaled Hosseini walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of August 30, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Khaled back on the market?

A rep for Khaled Hosseini was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the author was splitting hit the internet Monday (August 31), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Khaled’s phone number?”

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

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