Barack and Michelle Obama address divorce rumors: "There hasn't been a single moment when I've thought about leaving him."

Rumors and fabrications surrounding the private lives of current and former presidents and their partners are often a weapon aimed at their credibility and personalities. Some of them are constant victims of hoaxes, such as former US President Barack Obama and his alleged African birth, encouraged by Donald Trump, which would have prevented him from being elected president. His wife Michelle was also singled out, the victim of hoaxes falsely suggesting that she was actually a trans woman or claiming that the couple is in the process of divorce.

Now, the former president's wife, on the podcast IMO (an acronym for In My Opinion ) that she presents with her brother Craig Robinson, has not only denied the rumors, but has also made fun of them on a program where the guest was her husband Barack Obama.

Joking from the start with her brother, who claims to be happy to "have you both in the same room," Michelle jokes, stating that "when we're not, people think we're divorced." "It's assumed my husband and I are getting divorced, not that I'm a grown woman making decisions."

“There hasn't been a single moment in our marriage where I've thought about leaving him. We've been through some very difficult times and had many fun times, many adventures, and I've become a better person because of the man I'm married to,” she says.

“This is the episode everyone has been eagerly awaiting,” the former first lady’s brother began the presentation of the 16th episode of his podcast, “because we have my brother-in-law, her husband, the former president of the United States.” “He made time in his busy schedule to come. We’re honored,” Michelle quipped. Feigning false surprise, Craig blurted out, “Wait, you guys get along?” “Those are rumors,” Michelle replied.
