In recent days, stories about the divorce of Barack and Michelle Obama have been updated, and now the public is once again returning to the alleged affair of the former US president and famous actress Jennifer Aniston.
Namely, for years, stories have been circulating that Barack was unfaithful, and it all culminated in October 2024 when Jennifer denied that she was in a relationship with Obama.
However, rumors about the divorce were further fueled by the podcast “Who? Weekly” in which they stated that Barack and Michelle were already living separately, but also that Barack and Jennifer did indeed have a real affair.
Despite this, rumors of marital problems do surface from time to time. And they are often quite bizarre. So last October, actress Jennifer Aniston had to publicly deny the story that she was in a relationship with Barack. “That’s an absolute lie. I met him once, I know Michelle better than he does,” she said at the time.
In 2022, Michelle openly admitted that there was a period during the decade when her daughters were young when she couldn’t stand her husband. “People think I’m mean when I say that, but I had a really hard time in my marriage for about ten years,” she said.
Barack also mentioned challenges in the marriage, saying in a 2023 interview that being out of the White House and having more time for each other had helped.
As a reminder, speculation about the Obama divorce was fueled by the fact that Michelle did not attend the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter on January 9, 2025, as well as the announcement that she would not be present at the inauguration of the newly elected President Donald Trump on January 20, 2025.
Traditionally, former presidents and their wives attend inaugurations regardless of political differences, but a close source explained to People magazine, “Michelle doesn’t do things just because it’s expected or because it’s part of protocol.”
Michelle and Barack recently marked their 32nd wedding anniversary with posts on social media. Barack wrote: “I couldn’t imagine a better life partner,” while Michelle added: “32 years of action with my beloved! Thank you for always having my back and making me laugh.”
Barack and Michelle met in 1989 while Michelle was working as a mentor at the Sidley Austin law firm, where Barack was an intern. They got married in 1992 and have two daughters – Malia and Sasha.
