Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Who guitarist Pete Townshend, 81, and his partner had split up. Is the British guitarist really single again?

Townshend spotted alone
A fan spotted Pete Townshend walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of September 15, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”
Is Pete back on the market?
A rep for Pete Townshend was not immediately available for comment.
Truth or rumor, when news that the guitarist was splitting hit the internet Wednesday (September 16), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:
“Has anyone Pete’s phone number?”

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

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