Is the Velvet Underground ex-drummer officially back on the market?

Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Velvet Underground ex-drummer Maureen Tucker, 81, and her partner had split up. Is the American musician really single again?

UPDATE 18/07/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Tucker spotted alone

A fan spotted Maureen Tucker walking alone, probably coming back from picking up her mail at the end of her several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of July 16, 2026. Was she all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “She was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Maureen back on the market?

A rep for Maureen Tucker was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the musician was splitting hit the internet Friday (July 17), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Maureen’s phone number?”

“Hate to see Tucker split up, but I thought the pairing was a little weird.”

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