There are a lot of rumors that Barack and Michelle Obama are divorcing. Are they actually divorcing, though? We are aware of this.
The Daily Mail reports that fans are beginning to speculate about the status of the Obamas’ marriage after it was recently revealed that Michelle Obama would not be attending Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony with her husband.
“Former President Barack Obama is confirmed to attend the 60th Inaugural Ceremonies,” the Office of Barack and Michelle Obama told the Associated Press in a statement this week. Michelle Obama, the former first lady, will not be present at the forthcoming inauguration.
The announcement has raised interest in the dynamics within the former first couple and left many wondering why Michelle was absent.
What users had to say
On January 9, Michelle Obama was conspicuously absent from the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter, citing a “scheduling conflict” as the reason.
Fans of the well-known couple are worried about these two notable no-shows, with some speculating about possible problems in their relationship. Theories have been circulating on social media site X as users express their opinions.
One user conjectured, “I’m calling it, the Obamas are getting a divorce.”
“An Obama divorce would not be on my 2025 predictions, but it might happen,” another person commented.
“Looks like an Obama divorce is imminent,” the third writer wrote. We’ve all witnessed it: they cease going to events together.
But not everyone believes that marital problems exist. Some people think Michelle’s absences have more to do with politics than personal matters.
I don’t know anything about their marriage, but it’s obvious to me that Michelle Obama is using these absences to make a very particular political statement,” one user argued. She would never announce her divorce at Jimmy Carter’s funeral. Let’s use common sense here.
Since their first meeting in 1989 while working at a Chicago law firm, the Obamas have been a well-known power couple. Their first daughter, Malia, was born in 1998, and their second daughter, Sasha, in 2001. They were married in 1992.
