She Took Me Back’: Obamas Lightly Address Divorce Rumors with Humor and Love

Obamas joke about divorce rumors: ‘It was touch and go for a while’ – KTVZ

Barack and Michelle Obama recently put to rest swirling divorce rumors—with a dash of humor and a whole lot of love.

In a surprise appearance on The Light Podcast hosted by Michelle Obama and her brother Craig Robinson, the former president joined in on the conversation that aired Wednesday. During the episode, the couple addressed public speculation that their marriage was in trouble.

Michelle made it clear that the rumors were baseless. “There hasn’t been one moment in our marriage where I thought about quitting my man,” she said firmly, putting the gossip to bed.

Barack, ever the charmer, responded playfully: “She took me back,” jokingly implying that even if there had been trouble, it all worked out.

The rumors had gained traction earlier this year when Michelle skipped several high-profile events, including Donald Trump’s inauguration and the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter. That absence sparked online buzz that the Obamas might have gone their separate ways.

However, their relaxed, candid appearance on the podcast sent a different message—one of unity, laughter, and enduring partnership.

With their usual warmth and authenticity, the Obamas reminded everyone why they’re still one of America’s most admired couples.
