Michelle and Barack Obama Seen Together for the First Time in Six Months
Michelle and Barack Obama were last seen together in public six months ago. Their most recent photograph together dates back to December 2024, sparking speculation about a possible divorce.
The rumors gained traction partly because Michelle has been notably absent from several public events, fueling speculation about the state of their marriage.
Recently, however, the couple was spotted leaving the Lowell Hotel restaurant in New York with their daughter after enjoying dinner following a Broadway show. This sighting suggests that they remain connected and are not experiencing marital issues.
Despite the ongoing rumors, both Michelle and Barack have publicly denied any problems in their relationship. Michelle has emphasized that her absences from certain events—such as the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter and the inauguration of Donald Trump—are due to personal priorities and a desire for independence, rather than marital discord.
In an interview on the “Work in Progress” podcast with actress Sophia Bush, Michelle explained that her need for personal space and autonomy is often misunderstood as marital trouble. She clarified that these choices are about her individual well-being and do not reflect any issues between her and Barack.
