Michelle Obama Speaks Out on Divorce Speculations
Former First Lady Michelle Obama has addressed and dismissed recent rumors suggesting that she and former President Barack Obama are divorcing. In a candid conversation on Sophia Bush’s “Work in Progress” podcast, Michelle explained that her decisions to skip certain high-profile events, such as former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral and President Donald Trump’s inauguration, were personal choices aimed at prioritizing her own well-being, not indicators of marital issues.
Michelle emphasized the societal challenges women face when making independent decisions, noting that her autonomy was misconstrued as a sign of trouble in her marriage. She expressed frustration over the assumption that her choices couldn’t simply reflect personal agency, stating, “This couldn’t be a grown woman just making a set of decisions for herself, right? But that’s what society does to us.”
The Obamas, married since 1992, have publicly acknowledged the strains their time in the White House placed on their relationship but continue to affirm their strong bond. Barack has openly discussed efforts to strengthen their marriage post-presidency, and the couple frequently shares affectionate messages on social media, underscoring their enduring partnership.
