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 May 26, 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 Wednesday (May 27), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Yayoi’s phone number?”

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