Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Sam Elliott, 81, and his partner had split up. Is the actor best known for his roles in The Big Lebowski or Tombstone really single again?

UPDATE 16/03/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Elliott spotted alone

A fan spotted Sam Elliott walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of March 14, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Sam back on the market?

A rep for Sam Elliott was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the actor was splitting hit the internet Sunday (March 15), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Sam’s phone number?”

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

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