Sembello spotted alone

A fan spotted Michael Sembello walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of May 15, 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 Sembello was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the musician was splitting hit the internet Saturday (May 16), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Michael’s phone number?”

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