Michelle Obama Discusses Marriage with Barack Amid Divorce Rumors

Michelle Obama recently put an end to divorce rumors about her and her husband, Barack Obama. The 61-year-old former First Lady was spotted wearing her wedding ring during a visit to The Academy’s offices in Los Angeles. She was with her brother, Craig Robinson, who is also her podcast co-host.

While she was out, Michelle wore a stylish outfit featuring a green top, loose cargo pants, and cute brown shoes. She also had on beautiful diamond bracelets and knot earrings. Her hair was styled in a long, low ponytail. To top it all off, she carried a fancy $3,700 Bottega Veneta bag.

Although Barack wasn’t with her, Michelle seemed to be having a great time, chatting with staff and enjoying her day. Speculation about their marriage started when the couple, who married in 1992, hadn’t been seen together for a while. They were both involved in Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, but after Donald Trump became the nominee, Michelle stepped away from the spotlight, leading to worries about their relationship.

The rumors intensified when Barack attended Trump’s inauguration without Michelle. Despite the couple sharing loving posts on social media, many wondered if there were issues between them, especially since Michelle avoided public events for months.

Michelle made her first appearance of 2025 in March, where she discussed her life and her marriage on the “Jennifer Hudson Show.” She also talked about the rumors on Sophia Bush’s podcast, assuring fans there was no tension between her and Barack. She explained that she just chose to stop going to political events because she didn’t find them helpful.
