Barack Obama continues to do little to nothing to dispel the divorce rumors plaguing his marriage to Michelle Obama. On Wednesday, the famous politician stepped out to watch the Los Angeles Clippers vs. Detroit game without his wife.
However, from the video shared on the internet, fans could not help but notice the 63-year-old seemed to be under stress. The clip posted on X showed the former president on the screen as his presence was announced. Obama was seen sitting courtside at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California with a straight face. As expected, the excited crowd burst into loud cheers, causing the politician to stand and wave, keeping his wedding band in view. Afterward, Obama sat between Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and his wife Connie Snyder. For the game, the former lawyer wore a black turtleneck and matching slacks with a blue and red jacket.
The 44th President’s appearance at the game did not go unnoticed. Fans online quickly pointed out how he looked amid Michelle’s absence.
One fan penned, “Whatever going on in that household got that man STRESSED! You can see it in his face.” Another fan made their observation on the absence of the former First Lady, writing, “Not seated next to his wife, hmmm.”
A third internet user chipped, “He definitely getting divorced and moving to Hollyweird.”
One Internet user speculated on the circumstances surrounding Michelle and Barack’s relationship. The user insinuated the 2024 election results fractured their marriage.
“I wonder if Harris would have won, would there be rumors of a divorce? Does she blame him for the Democrats losing the entire election because he forced Biden to step down?”
The politician’s appearance at the game comes almost a month after his wife was seen enjoying a solo outing. The 61-year-old looked tense as she stepped out for dinner with her brother Craig Robinson to Hollywood hotspot Mother Wolf.
Barack And Michelle Obama Splitting Assets In Preparation For Divorce
While the couple lives their separate lives, they are reportedly dividing their joint $70 million assets in preparation for a divorce, if it ever comes to that. What is at stake if Michelle and Barack succumb to the rumors? Sources say they are sifting through the logistics of their wealth.
“They want to have everything ironed out in advance. The last thing they want is an ugly fight with lots of nasty legal filings.”
The couple’s assets, which would need to be shared, range from real estate to a $25 million stock portfolio. They also make revenue from their career ventures over the years.
The couple has been married for 32 years with two kids, and their marriage allegedly took a downturn during the 2024 US presidential election. Barack reportedly wanted his wife to run for president following Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the election. However, rather than follow her husband’s passion, Michelle pursued hers, causing a misunderstanding in their relationship.
Barack and Michelle Obama have remained quiet about the allegations, but their solo appearances continue to do all the talking.
