Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Yo-Yo Ma, 70, and his partner had split up. Is the musician best known for his album Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone really single again?

UPDATE 16/01/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Ma spotted alone

A fan spotted Yo-Yo Ma walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of January 14, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Yo-Yo back on the market?

A rep for Yo-Yo Ma was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the musician was splitting hit the internet Thursday (January 15), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Yo-Yo’s phone number?”

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

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