Richie spotted alone

A fan spotted Nicole Richie walking alone, probably coming back from picking up her mail at the end of her several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of March 13, 2026. Was she all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “She was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Nicole back on the market?

A rep for Nicole Richie was not immediately available for comment.

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

“Has anyone Nicole’s phone number?”

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

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