Berners-Lee spotted alone

A fan spotted Tim Berners-Lee walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of September 26, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Tim back on the market?

A rep for Tim Berners-Lee was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the scientist was splitting hit the internet Sunday (September 27), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Tim’s phone number?”

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

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