Simmons spotted alone

A fan spotted Russell Simmons walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of November 13, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Russell back on the market?

A rep for Russell Simmons was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the business man - known for having been romantically involved with Noémie Lenoir - was splitting hit the internet Saturday (November 14), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Russell’s phone number?”

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

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