Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett, 62, and his partner had split up. Is the American guitarist really single again?

Hammett spotted alone
A fan spotted Kirk Hammett walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of February 17, 2025. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”
Is Kirk back on the market?
A rep for Kirk Hammett was not immediately available for comment.
Truth or rumor, when news that the guitarist was splitting hit the internet Tuesday (February 18), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:
“Has anyone Kirk’s phone number?”

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

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