Break-Up Rumors, Is Olaf Scholz Single Again?

Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Olaf Scholz, 68, and his partner had split up. Is the former German Chancellor really single again?

UPDATE 22/07/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Scholz spotted alone

A fan spotted Olaf Scholz walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of July 20, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Olaf back on the market?

A rep for Olaf Scholz was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the politician was splitting hit the internet Tuesday (July 21), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Olaf’s phone number?”

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

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