Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Lars von Trier, 70, and his partner had split up. Is the director best known for Antichrist, Dancer in the Dark or Breaking the Waves really single again?

UPDATE 24/10/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Von Trier spotted alone

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

Is Lars back on the market?

A rep for Lars von Trier was not immediately available for comment.

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

“Has anyone Lars’s phone number?”

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

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