Former President Barack Obama and wife Michelle have finally sought to shut down the long-running rumors they’re headed for divorce — even though they’ve barely been seen together in months.
The former first couple jointly addressed the speculation swirling around their three-decade marriage for the first time Wednesday, joking on the latest episode of the ex-first lady’s podcast that it was “touch and go for a while.”
“He made time in his busy schedule to come on. We are honored,” Michelle, 61, told listeners before her co-host and brother, Craig Robinson, shot back, “Wait, you guys like each other?”
“She took me back,” Barack, 63, quickly chimed in. “It was touch and go for a while.”
Robinson went on to note it was nice to have the couple in the same room together, prompting Michelle to fire back, “I know because when we aren’t, folks think we’re divorced.”
The Obamas have tried to quell speculation by posting cute pics on social media — even as they seemed to live mostly separate lives in public.
The whispers hit fever-pitch when the former first lady noticeably skipped two high-profile events earlier this year: former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral and President Trump’s inauguration.
