Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Ricky Gervais, 64, and his partner had split up. Is the actor best known for his role on the television series The Office (UK) really single again?

Gervais spotted alone
A fan spotted Ricky Gervais walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of January 10, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”
Is Ricky back on the market?
A rep for Ricky Gervais was not immediately available for comment.
Truth or rumor, when news that the actor was splitting hit the internet Sunday (January 11), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:
“Has anyone Ricky’s phone number?”
