According to reports, Barack and Michelle Obama’s marriage has been having issues. At Monday’s inauguration ceremony, Barack Obama appeared cheerful despite rumors that his marriage to Michelle Obama must have soured and because of issues in their relationship, he is now making public appearances alone.
There have been multiple instances about the absence of Michelle in high profile public events for the past few months. While these instances don’t really point to a divorce, they do raise a lot of questions about their marriage.
Former presidents and their wives always attend such events together, which is why rumors of their separation have been burning like wildfire.
What people are saying about Michelle and Barack Obama
There was a thread on X, where many people guessed that Barack and Michelle Obama, who have been married for 30 years, were on the verge of divorcing.
Michelle’s office failed to give a clear explanation for her absence, which further fueled speculation about their private life.
This occurred only a few days after Michelle Obama did not attend former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral.
Additionally, amid persistent rumors of marital conflict, former US President Barack Obama was seen attending a private dinner party without his wife.
The status of the Obamas’ relationship was soon questioned by media outlets and other social media sites.
After more than 30 years of marriage, some people speculated that the couple would be getting a divorce while others called for privacy for the power couple and for nosy people to leave them alone.
Responses From Social Media:
“If you’re angry about Michelle Obama’s choice to skip Donald Trump’s swearing-in, wait till I tell you of the time Donald Trump planned a coup, incited an uprising, and refused to accept the outcome of the election he lost before choosing not to attend Joe Biden’s.”
Another commented, “Trump was the first outgoing president to skip the Biden inaugural ceremony since Andrew Johnson in 1869. Therefore, stop talking about Michelle Obama’s absence from Trump’s inauguration.
A third commented, “Watching MAGA go crazy over Michelle Obama’s absence from Trump’s inauguration is hilarious.” You people are aware that Donald Trump did not attend Biden’s, right? The entire Trump family did not show up. Don’t waste your phony outrage on the Obamas.
The Obamas have so far not released any formal statements to support or refute the rumors. However, the speculations never stop. The two are nevertheless seen enjoying their lives. Recently, Michelle was seen celebrating her 61st birthday and Barack posted a hearty tribute for her on Instagram.
He wrote how Michelle filled every room with grace, humor, wisdom, and warmth. Moreover, he expressed his love for her over the years. This would have been a positive sign if the two had celebrated the birthday together, but the posts made the rumors of their separation even more stronger.
