Barack and Michelle Obama Quash Divorce Rumors via Subtweet

Michelle Obama was absent from Jimmy Carter’s state funeral earlier this month, and this week she announced that she’ll be skipping Donald Trump’s second inauguration too. So obviously, Michelle and Barack are … getting a divorce?

There is a huge pile of evidence that Michelle Obama is skipping these events because she really hates Trump. There is pretty much no evidence that she’s trying to avoid her husband of 32 years, unless In Touch is your most trusted news source and you refuse to accept Jennifer Aniston’s insistence that she is not having a torrid affair with Barack. Nevertheless, there’s been a ton of speculation this week that the former president and First Lady are separated, or maybe even headed for divorce.

Now the Obamas have (sort of) addressed the rumors in a pair of subtweets. Barack posted this message on X on January 17, wishing a happy birthday to the “love of my life.”

Barack writes a sweet birthday message to his wife every year, as the Daily Mail noted while freaking out over the fact that he didn’t post first thing on January 17. But it seems like Michelle was not offended by her husband waiting 12 hours and 40 minutes to publicly wish her a happy birthday.

So there you have it: Clearly the Obamas are still very much in love … or very committed to this elaborate conspiracy to needlessly lie about their relationship status!
