It’s the speculative question that just won’t go away: Whatisthe status of the Obamas’ marriage?
Everybody, frompodcastersto thedaughterof a former member of the Senate, has speculated on whether Barack and Michelle Obama were headed for divorce or not.
(Not helping matters weresomeof thequotesprofferedby the former first lady.)
Yet through it all, Barack and Michelle have largelylaughedthis sort of speculation off as much ado about nothing. And for a while, those rumors were largely put to rest.
Now, however, those rumors have returned afresh, and from an odd source: Barack himself.
Obama spoke toThe New Yorkerfor a lengthy profile, and the glowing piece largely focused on what the former president’s role should be in “the age of Trump.”
That question covered a variety of topics, but it was Obama’s mention of his marriage that raised the most eyebrows.
“She wants to see her husband easing up and spending more time with her, enjoying what remains of our lives,” the 64-year-old Obama said of his 62-year-old wife. “It does create a genuine tension in our household, and it frustrates her.”
Again, that snippet from a much larger profile piece specifically caught quite a bit of attention.
USA Todaywrote that Obama admitted to this potential marital strife.The Independent, a British outlet, opted to frame President Donald Trump as the source of the Obamas’ marital woes.Fox News, naturally, also covered it.
