Smith spotted alone

A fan spotted Phyllis Smith walking alone, probably coming back from picking up her mail at the end of her several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of March 16, 2026. Was she all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “She was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Phyllis back on the market?

A rep for Phyllis Smith was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the actress was splitting hit the internet Tuesday (March 17), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Phyllis’s phone number?”
