Waits spotted alone

A fan spotted Tom Waits walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of February 21, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Tom back on the market?

A rep for Tom Waits was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the singer was splitting hit the internet Sunday (February 22), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Tom’s phone number?”

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

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