Michelle Obama and Barack Obama divorce reports have been making rounds online lately. Speculations have it that the former first couple are heading for divorce, and plans are said to be already in place to map out how their high-profile separation will look.
An unnamed source claimed that Barack is read to move on, and Michelle is too. The ex-FLOTUS allegedly sacrificed so much for her husband over the years, and she is said to be finally putting herself first.
“They’re already separated and living apart. Divorce will come later and quietly. For them to admit the failure is quite humiliating,” another insider told National Enquirer.
The cracks in their marriage, as per reports, have been hiding in plain sight for several years. However, recent events have reportedly raised major red flags.
Divorce rumors intensified after Michelle was a no-show during President Jimmy Carter’s funeral, sending shockwaves through Washington. Instead of accompanying Barack in the said event, the former FLOTUS allegedly extended her stay in Hawaii instead.
Most, if not all, followers of the Obamas are aware that all five living presidents—Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Donald Trump—appeared at the service to lead Carter to rest. All of them were seated with their wives except for Barack who was positioned between Laura Bush and President Trump.
“Michelle’s always been the type to show up and play the role, no matter what was going on behind the scenes. She’s no stranger to putting duty above her personal feelings, but not this time. This is a major signal that she’s making changes and stepping away from the life she’s been stuck in for decades,” the informant furthered.
While Today’s Esquire could not independently verify Michelle and Barack divorce rumors, it would mark the first split in history for a living former U.S. president should the speculations prove true.
Though presidential marriages have weathered countless storms, from scrutiny to scandals, no former head of state has ever publicly ended their marriage. Even President Trump, who got divorced twice prior to presidency, has remained wed to Melania Trump.
The tipster suggested that Barack put immense pressure to Michelle to run for president, which she refused, and he has been reportedly blaming his wife for President Trump’s victory ever since.
“They’ve been at each other since Election Day like cats and dogs—truly venomous stuff! She sacrificed for so many years and for him to ask that of her—to return to the maelstrom of D.C. after she served so dutifully for so long, is totally unfair and unreasonable.
Neither Michelle Obama nor Barack Obama has confirmed or denied these divorce reports until now. So, avid followers of the couple should take all these unverified claims with a grain of salt until everything is proven true and correct.
