Trouble in Paradise? Barack and Michelle Obama’s Absence Raises Divorce Rumors
President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama have been the subject of divorce rumors after Michelle’s absence from several high-profile events. The rumors began when Barack attended Jimmy Carter’s funeral solo, while other former Presidents and their wives attended together. Michelle’s absence from Donald Trump’s inauguration also sparked speculation.
However, sources close to the Obamas have denied the rumors, stating that Michelle’s decision not to attend the inauguration was due to her not wanting to fake a smile in the presence of Trump, whom she has publicly criticized for his offensive comments and history of racism.
The source also revealed that Michelle has been dealing with the loss of her mother, Marian Robinson, and has been prioritizing her family during the holiday season. Additionally, Michelle has been on an extended vacation in Hawaii, which may have contributed to her absence from Jimmy Carter’s funeral.
The Obamas have been out of the public eye since leaving the White House in 2017, and Michelle has been focusing on her personal projects and causes. Despite the rumors, it appears that the couple is still going strong, with no indication of a divorce on the horizon.
