Holmes spotted alone

A fan spotted Rupert Holmes walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of October 28, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Rupert back on the market?

A rep for Rupert Holmes was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the singer was splitting hit the internet Thursday (October 29), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Rupert’s phone number?”

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

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