Is the 85-year-old director officially back on the market?

Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Wolfgang Petersen, 85, and his partner had split up. Is the director best known for Troy or In the Line of Fire really single again?

UPDATE 15/11/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Petersen spotted alone

A fan spotted Wolfgang Petersen walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of November 13, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Wolfgang back on the market?

A rep for Wolfgang Petersen was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the director was splitting hit the internet Saturday (November 14), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Wolfgang’s phone number?”

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

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