Cooder spotted alone

A fan spotted Ry Cooder 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, 2025. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Ry back on the market?

A rep for Ry Cooder was not immediately available for comment.

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

“Has anyone Ry’s phone number?”
