Is the 77-year-old actor officially back on the market?

Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Niels Arestrup, 77, and his partner had split up. Is the actor best known for his roles in War Horse, A Prophet or The Beat That My Heart Skipped really single again?

UPDATE 21/03/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Arestrup spotted alone

A fan spotted Niels Arestrup walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of March 19, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Niels back on the market?

A rep for Niels Arestrup was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the actor was splitting hit the internet Friday (March 20), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Niels’s phone number?”

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

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