van Persie spotted alone

A fan spotted Robin van Persie walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of May 17, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Robin back on the market?

A rep for Robin van Persie was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the footballer was splitting hit the internet Monday (May 18), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Robin’s phone number?”
