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 29, 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 Friday (January 30), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Laurent’s phone number?”
