Break-Up Rumors, Is Tems Single Again?

Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Tems, 31, and her partner had split up. Is the singer best known for her hit song Essence really single again?

UPDATE 10/08/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Tems spotted alone

A fan spotted Tems walking alone, probably coming back from picking up her mail at the end of her several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of August 8, 2026. Was she all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “She was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Tems back on the market?

A rep for Tems was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the singer was splitting hit the internet Sunday (August 9), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Tems’s phone number?”

“Hate to see Tems split up, but I thought the pairing was a little weird.”

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