Michelle Obama is sick and tired of being asked questions about her relationship status with her husband, Barack Obama. The questions continue to mount, and so do the divorce rumors. So when Michelle finally made her first public appearance in two months, she shared her true feelings on the subject.
During her speech at the SXSW in Austin, Michelle Obama talked openly about her new podcast show with her brother Craig. She reveals that the two of them decided to launch the podcast “IMO” (short for In My Opinion) to offer advice and guidance to those in need.
Michelle shares her and Barack Obama’s time in the White House; it wasn’t always easy. They did their best to keep a hopeful and positive attitude. She admits it was not easy. However, now that Barack and Michelle Obama are no longer in the White House, she reveals they are dealing with a lot of drama.
“Let me tell you, there was a lot of negative energy flipping our way, a lot of rumors, a lot of gossip,” Michelle states. For several months now, the Obamas have faced continuous blockbuster divorce drama.
Barack Obama And Michelle Obama Living Separate Lives
The rumors began surfacing last August following talk that former president Barack Obama and Friends star Jennifer Aniston were carrying on a secret affair behind Michelle Obama’s back. Despite Aniston denying the accusations, the divorce rumors appear to be picking up speed, and the couple have had about all they can take.
Barack Obama and Michelle Obama are reportedly living separate lives. The alleged gossip is said to have started gaining traction after Michelle noticeably bailed on attending two high-profile events. Her absence from Barack’s side raised a lot of eyebrows, adding fuel to the divorce rumor fire.
Sources close to the Obamas dished with In Touch on the subject. The insider states, “The Obamas have been through so much that, at this point, they feel no need to publicly address that kind of talk. The last thing either of them wants to do is try to explain their relationship to people.”
Early this month, Michelle Obama admitted that it has been a “rough year,” mostly because of her mother’s passing. She adds that her decision to stay out of the public eye was based on one big factor, that she never liked politics. “That’s Barack’s thing,” she reveals.
When it comes to the rumors circulating about their lives and alleged divorce drama, the source says it all comes down to this: “They don’t care what anyone thinks.”
After more than three decades together, they have been through a lot. The fact is they will always have each other’s backs. In other words, they don’t owe anyone any answers. If their marriage is falling apart, you can be sure they will alert their followers as they see fit. Until then, it sounds as if Michelle and Barack would politely like to ask everyone to butt out.
