Michelle Obama has taken a subtle jab at all the rumormongers who have been keen on speculating about her divorce from Barack Obama. To the unaware, the power couple has been subjected to many rumors, especially in the last few weeks.
Their extremely publicized marriage has been getting some sudden media attention, especially after the claims that the ex-US president was having an affair with Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston. Although the Obamas are not immune to such ridiculous rumors, it looks like they are taking measures against them.
In particular, Michelle Obama slyly told all her supporters that they could ignore those speculations as she publicly shut down the rumors about her marital woes. The former First Lady did so in a very subtle way while maintaining her poise.
On January 29, 2025, the heinous murder of Hadiya Pendleton clocked 12 years. In memory of the student, Michelle Obama announced that the Obama Presidential Center will inaugurate a garden in Chicago, honoring Pendleton. Michelle further confirmed that she won’t be the only one working on the project.
Taking to Instagram, she shared a story, writing, “Hadiya had an extraordinary light that will not be forgotten. Barack and I look forward to honoring her memory through a dedicated space at the Obama Presidential Center.” Their partnership on this pivotal project reassured supporters of the strength of their marriage.
While Michelle proved that they are going as strong as ever, Barack Obama also showed solidarity with her to the victims of the Washington plane crash. “Michelle and I send our prayers and condolences to everyone who is mourning today, and we’re grateful to the first responders who are doing everything they can to help under extremely difficult circumstances,” Barack Obama wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

As it’s known, Barack and Michelle Obama first got acquainted in 1989. That summer, the pair went on their first official date. After three years of dating, the beloved couple tied the knot in 1992. A few years later, in 1998, they welcomed their first child, Malia. In 2001, the Obamas became parents again with Natasha’s (Sasha) arrival. After Barack became the 44th president in 2008, their marriage started receiving extreme media attention.
Over the years, the public interest has only grown further, giving rise to many rumors. Lately, the couple has been subjected to much speculation, especially regarding their marital woes. Whether it is the sudden Jennifer Aniston affair buzz or just Mr. Obama’s frequent solo sightings at events, people have been curious about the state of their marriage.
Despite many rumors, their relationship seems strong enough. According to many supporters, their bond only grew stronger after leaving the White House. Barack Obama has himself said so, during a CBS interview, that he is now able to spend more time with Michelle, which does wonders for their marriage.
