The Couple Shut Divorce Rumors DOWN
Michelle Obama just dropped a new episode of her podcast ‘IMO’ on Wednesday, July 16, alongside her brother, Craig Robinson—and this time, they brought a very special guest: Barack Obama. The episode wasted no time diving into the longtime divorce rumors, with Craig joking he was surprised to see the couple even still “liked each other.” Barack, always quick with the humor, replied, “She took me back! It was touch and go for a while.”
Before Barack gave his take, Michelle cleared the air once and for all. She explained that after leaving the White House, she intentionally stepped back from the spotlight—a decision that fueled public speculation about trouble in the marriage. As previously reported by TSR, her absence from major events like Trump’s 2025 inauguration only added to the rumors. But Michelle made it clear: stepping back didn’t mean stepping away from her man.
