Kusama spotted alone

A fan spotted Yayoi Kusama walking alone, probably coming back from picking up her mail at the end of her several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of April 12, 2026. Was she all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “She was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Yayoi back on the market?

A rep for Yayoi Kusama was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the artist was splitting hit the internet Monday (April 13), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Yayoi’s phone number?”

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

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