Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Yao Ming, 44, and his partner had split up. Is the Chinese basketball player really single again?
UPDATE 23/07/2025 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Yao spotted alone
A fan spotted Yao Ming walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of July 21, 2025. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”
Is Ming back on the market?
A rep for Yao Ming was not immediately available for comment.
Truth or rumor, when news that the basketball player was splitting hit the internet Tuesday (July 22), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:
“Has anyone Ming’s phone number?”

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

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