UPDATE 22/02/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Cook spotted alone

A fan spotted Paul Cook walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of February 20, 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 Cook was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the musician was splitting hit the internet Saturday (February 21), 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.”

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