Skaggs spotted alone

A fan spotted Ricky Skaggs walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of May 15, 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 Skaggs was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the singer was splitting hit the internet Saturday (May 16), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Ricky’s phone number?”
