Barack Obama and Michelle Obama have finally addressed the state of their union- after months of divorce rumours.
What happened between Michelle and Barack Obama?
The former President of the United States, 63, was a guest on his wife’s podcast IMO, which she co-hosts with her brother Craig Robinson, with the pair taking turns to handle the rumors of their separation.
‘What, you guys like each other?’ Robinson joked, before Michelle replied: ‘Oh yeah, the rumor mill.’
‘She took me back!’ Obama light-heartedly chimed in, adding: ‘It was touch and go for awhile.’
The former first lady added that it is nice to be in the same room as her husband, sassily telling her brother: ‘When we aren’t, folks think we’re divorced.’
Michelle Obama reveals the truth
Michelle then made a heartfelt admission about her relationship with her husband of almost 33 years.
‘There hasn’t been one moment in our marriage where I thought about quitting my man,’ she said passionately.
She continued: ‘And we’ve had some really hard times. So we had a lot of fun times, a lot of adventures, and I have become a better person because of the man I’m married to.’
Obama who has been married with Michelle for almost 33 year admitted he misses a lot of the speculation, and he was largely unaware of what people were saying.
‘These are the kinds of things that I just miss, right? So I don’t even know this stuff’s going on. And then somebody will mention it to me and I’m all like, “what are you talking about?”‘ he said.
The divorce speculation heightened after Michelle decided to skip both Jimmy Carter‘s funeral and President Donald Trump’s inauguration – with Michelle insisting they were decisions she made for herself…. also her absence at the high-profile political events didn’t help, as did President Obama’s confession in April that he was in a ‘deep deficit’ with his wife.
The couple share daughters, Malia, 26, and Sasha, 24.
