Is the rumor that former US President Barack Obama and his wife are divorcing true?

 Recently, Mrs. Michelle Obama posted a response to rumors about her divorce.

Former US First Lady Michelle Obama has responded to rumours that she and Barack Obama are divorcing, revealing that her decision to step back from the spotlight has forced her to miss a number of events.

Her husband, former US President Barack Obama, has been seen attending several US government events alone, sparking separation rumours.
Michelle Obama said her decision to step down was seen as a reflection of her marriage to Barack Obama.

Speaking on Sophia Bush’s “Work in Progress” podcast, Michelle Obama said her decision to step down was seen as a reflection of their marriage.

“What’s interesting is that when I say ‘no,’ most people are like, ‘I get it,’ and I’m fine. And that’s what we, as women, struggle with — letting people down. To the point where people, they can’t even understand that I’m making a choice for myself, that they have to assume that my husband and I are getting a divorce,” a Page Six report quoted her as saying.

‘I chose what was best for me’

Laughing off the idea of ​​ending her marriage, she said she was just “a grown woman making some decisions for herself”.

“But that’s what society does to us. Eventually, we really start to ask ourselves, ‘What am I doing? Who am I doing this for?’ And if it doesn’t fit the mold of what people think we should be doing, then it gets labeled as something negative and terrible,” she added.

She explained that with her duties at the White House complete and her two daughters now grown, she has more freedom to decide how to spend her time.

“I got to look at my calendar, which I did this year. It was a really big example of me, myself, looking at what I was supposed to be doing, you know, without naming names, and I chose to do what was best for me. Not what I had to do, not what other people wanted me to do, and between you and me, that was a major challenge for me as a woman, as an independent person,” she said.

This may refer to her absence from important events such as President Trump’s inauguration and President Jimmy Carter’s funeral, events attended by only Barack Obama.

Michelle’s comments come days after her husband, Barack, admitted he was “in a state of severe lack of intimacy with his wife”. “I try to get out of it by doing fun things every now and then,” he said.
