Spencer spotted alone

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

Is Octavia back on the market?

A rep for Octavia Spencer was not immediately available for comment.

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

“Has anyone Octavia’s phone number?”

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