Bachelet spotted alone

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

Is Michelle back on the market?

A rep for Michelle Bachelet was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the politician 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 Michelle’s phone number?”
