Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Paul McCarthy, 81, and his partner had split up. Is the American artist really single again?

UPDATE 12/10/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

McCarthy spotted alone

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

Truth or rumor, when news that the artist was splitting hit the internet Sunday (October 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.”

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