Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Masayoshi Son, 68, and his partner had split up. Is SoftBank's boss really single again?

Son spotted alone

A fan spotted Masayoshi Son walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of May 19, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Masayoshi back on the market?

A rep for Masayoshi Son was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the business man was splitting hit the internet Wednesday (May 20), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Masayoshi’s phone number?”

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

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