Michelle Obama has directly addressed rumours of marital problems with former President Barack Obama stating definitively that they are untrue.
During an interview on the “The Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett” podcast, Michelle laughed off speculation, saying that if there were issues, “everybody would know it.”
She emphasized that she is not one to suffer in silence and would openly address any problems.
Her brother, Craig Robinson, 63, jokingly added that he would be doing a podcast with Barack if there were any marital strife.
Michelle asserted that she and Barack are committed to their decades-long relationship, which began in 1992. “That’s not who we are,” she said, adding that they both understand each other’s dedication.
Rumors of trouble began circulating after Barack attended President Jimmy Carter’s funeral and President Trump’s inauguration without Michelle.
She explained her absence on the podcast, saying she now feels empowered to prioritize her own well-being.
Michelle described a shift in her decision-making process, saying she now considers her own feelings before committing to events.
She felt attending Trump’s inauguration would disrupt her peace and time with her children, and she deemed it not worth it.
Barack Obama has also spoken openly about the ups and downs of their marriage, describing Michelle as “forgiving.”
The couple has also used social media to publicly display their affection, further dispelling any rumors of a split.
