Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Peter Sarsgaard, 54, and his partner had split up. Is the actor best known for his roles in Blue Jasmine, Orphan or Shattered Glass really single again?

UPDATE 10/01/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Sarsgaard spotted alone

A fan spotted Peter Sarsgaard walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of January 8, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Peter back on the market?

A rep for Peter Sarsgaard was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the actor was splitting hit the internet Friday (January 9), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Peter’s phone number?”

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

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