Johnson spotted alone

A fan spotted Rian Johnson walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of May 13, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Rian back on the market?

A rep for Rian Johnson was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the director was splitting hit the internet Thursday (May 14), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Rian’s phone number?”

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

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