Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Michael Palin, 83, and his partner had split up. Is the comedian best known for his roles in A Fish Called Wanda or Monty Python's Flying Circus really single again?

UPDATE 15/05/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Palin spotted alone

A fan spotted Michael Palin walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of May 13, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Michael back on the market?

A rep for Michael Palin was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the comedian was splitting hit the internet Thursday (May 14), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Michael’s phone number?”

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

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