Is the 78-year-old director officially back on the market?

Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Patrice Leconte, 78, and his partner had split up. Is the director best known for Ridicule, Les Spécialistes or French Fried Vacation really single again?

UPDATE 17/07/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Leconte spotted alone

A fan spotted Patrice Leconte walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of July 15, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Patrice back on the market?

A rep for Patrice Leconte was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the director was splitting hit the internet Thursday (July 16), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Patrice’s phone number?”

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

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