Allen spotted alone

A fan spotted Paul Allen walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of January 10, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Paul back on the market?

A rep for Paul Allen was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the business man was splitting hit the internet Sunday (January 11), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Paul’s phone number?”

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