McElhenney spotted alone

A fan spotted Rob McElhenney walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of January 16, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Rob back on the market?

A rep for Rob McElhenney was not immediately available for comment.

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

“Has anyone Rob’s phone number?”
