Barack and Michelle Obama recently posted a selfie together, celebrating Valentine’s Day, marking the first time the couple has been seen in public together in weeks.
This comes amid ongoing rumors suggesting trouble in their relationship.
In a heartfelt message shared on X, the former president wrote, “Thirty-two years together and you still take my breath away.
Happy Valentine’s Day, Michelle Obama!” While the exact date of the photo is unclear, it’s evident that the Obamas are still going strong despite speculation.
The Last Public Appearance Together
The last time the couple was spotted together was in mid-December when they enjoyed a dinner outing in Los Angeles.
Before that, Barack also shared a touching post in honor of Michelle’s birthday, calling her the “love of his life” and wishing her a happy birthday with a photo of the two holding hands over a private dinner.
He captioned the photo, “You fill every room with warmth, wisdom, humor, and grace – and you look good doing it.
I’m so lucky to be able to take on life’s adventures with you. Love you.”
Michelle, in turn, shared the post on her own social media with a simple yet affectionate, “Love you, honey!”
Rumors and Speculation
Recent rumors about the couple’s relationship have gained attention.
Barack was seen attending Jimmy Carter’s state funeral and Donald Trump’s second inauguration without Michelle, sparking further gossip.
Some believe Michelle’s absence was a political statement rather than a sign of marital issues.
These rumors intensified when an October report claimed Michelle was upset after actress Jennifer Aniston denied rumors of an affair with Barack.
The story, initially from a gossip magazine, was further fueled by a podcast that suggested the Obamas were “living separate lives.”
Aniston herself later shut down the claims, stating that she and Barack had barely met, and that she knew Michelle better than him.
Their Relationship Over the Years
Barack and Michelle Obama first met in 1989 while working at a law firm in Chicago, and they married in 1992.
The couple went on to have two daughters, Malia in 1998 and Sasha in 2001.
Throughout their years together, both have openly discussed the challenges they faced in their marriage, especially during Barack’s presidency.
Michelle has shared that she struggled with feelings of resentment when she put her career on hold to focus on raising their children while Barack’s career flourished.
During their time in the White House, the pressure of balancing their public lives and family responsibilities led to more strain.
Michelle has spoken about the challenges of maintaining a marriage while being constantly “on” in the public eye and how her husband’s work sometimes took precedence over family matters.
Despite these difficulties, the couple has remained committed to one another through it all.
