Obamas Address Divorce Rumors on Podcast

Barack and Michelle Obama publicly addressed persistent divorce rumors during a joint appearance on Michelle's podcast 'IMO,' co-hosted with her brother Craig Robinson. Using humor and affectionate banter, the couple dismissed speculation and emphasized the strength of their marriage, with Michelle stating she has never considered leaving Barack. The rumors had intensified after Michelle missed several political events, but both Obamas highlighted their ongoing commitment and mutual support as partners and parents. Barack joked about being 'taken back,' and Robinson added levity to the conversation. Some commentators suggested their display was orchestrated PR rather than genuine spontaneity. Despite this, the couple appeared relaxed and unified in reassuring the public about their relationship.
