McConaughey spotted alone

A fan spotted Matthew McConaughey walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of January 21, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Matthew back on the market?

A rep for Matthew McConaughey was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the actor - known for having been romantically involved with Ashley Judd or Penélope Cruz - was splitting hit the internet Thursday (January 22), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Matthew’s phone number?”

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

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