Over the years, multiple rumors have circulated about a potential split between Michelle and Barack Obama, who have been married since 1992. In 2019, Magzter published a story, allegedly sourced from Globe Magazine, claiming that a divorce was imminent. This story claimed that Michelle demanded “alimony, child support, and the couple’s new Martha’s Vineyard mansion,” along with a significant portion of their “$150 million fortune.”
In a similar vein, the satire site Empire News ran a story in 2020, humorously claiming a split was in the works due to Barack being gay. Later, in 2022, the International Business Times UK reported that the couple had agreed to separate and were living apart. Interestingly, IBT also cited Globe Magazine, a gossip magazine known to favor sensationalism over facts. Not surprisingly, these rumors have proven unfounded.
On October 3, 2023, over four years since the rumors began, Michelle and Barack celebrated their anniversary on social media. Michelle posted a picture on Instagram with the caption, “31 years, and a lifetime to go. I love going through life with you by my side,” while Barack’s post read, “Happy anniversary, sweetheart! … I’m lucky to call you mine.” Michelle Obama’s wise advice to newly married couples also shows that the couple is committed to their union. Furthermore, in a December 2022 interview on Revolt, Michelle reflected on the importance of working through challenges in marriage, suggesting that divorce is not in this power couple’s plans.
