  Is Paul Cook secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook, 69, and his partner had split up. Is the British musician really single again?

UPDATE 02/02/2026 : 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 January 31, 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 Sunday (February 1), 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?
