Is Le Nouvel Observateur's managing editor officially back on the market?

Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Laurent Joffrin, 73, and his partner had split up. Is the Le Nouvel Observateur's managing editor really single again?

UPDATE 11/01/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Joffrin spotted alone

A fan spotted Laurent Joffrin walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of January 9, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Laurent back on the market?

A rep for Laurent Joffrin was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the journalist was splitting hit the internet Saturday (January 10), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Laurent’s phone number?”

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

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