Hearst-Shaw spotted alone

A fan spotted Lydia Hearst-Shaw walking alone, probably coming back from picking up her mail at the end of her several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of July 10, 2025. Was she all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “She was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Lydia back on the market?

A rep for Lydia Hearst-Shaw was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the actress - known for having been romantically involved with Kevin Connolly, Ryan Cabrera, Justin Bartha, Benedict Cumberbatch or Jeff Goldblum - was splitting hit the internet Friday (July 11), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Lydia’s phone number?”
