In response to reports that she and Barack Obama are divorcing, former US First Lady Michelle Obama said she chose to distance herself from the spotlight, which resulted in her missing a number of occasions. Rumours of their separation began when her husband, former US President Barack Obama, was spotted attending a number of US government functions by himself.
Michelle Obama stated on Sophia Bush’s “Work in Progress” podcast that her decision to take a backseat was interpreted as a reflection of their marriage. The intriguing thing is that most of the time, when I say “no,” people say, “I understand,” and I’m fine. And disappointing people is the issue that women struggle with. She was quoted in a Page Six report as saying, “So much so that people couldn’t even fathom that I was making a choice for myself, that they had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing.”
Addressing Divorce Rumors
Actress Sophia Bush discussed changes in her life since leaving the White House eight years ago and denied the persistent divorce allegations with Barack Obama in an interview with the Work In Progress podcast. She claimed that since her girls are now adults, she is free to reevaluate her priorities and put her own health first.
Her absence from ceremonies earlier this year, including the death of former President Jimmy Carter and President Donald Trump’s second inauguration, raised rumours that the Obamas were having problems. The most frequent rumour was that Hillary was about to split from former US President Barack Obama.
“I could have made a lot of these decisions years ago, but I didn’t give myself the freedom. Maybe even as much as I let my kids have their own lives, I use their lives as an excuse for why I couldn’t do something,” she added. Ms. Obama disclosed that she made a conscious decision based on self-care to withdraw from some well-known obligations. “I get to look at my calendar, which I did this year, was a real big example of me, myself looking at something that I was supposed to do – you know, without naming names – and I chose to do what was best for me, not what I had to do, not what I thought other people wanted me to do,” she stated.

Michelle Obama claimed to be involved in issues near and dear to her heart, even though she had stepped away from some prominent positions. She said that she was still giving talks, working on different projects, and advocating for the education of girls.
Ms. Obama hasn’t held back when talking about the strains their marriage has endured, particularly under Barack Obama’s administration. ‘Becoming,’ her memoir, described times of personal stress, including as loneliness and fatigue while they were in the White House. She has continued to have a significant influence on American public life ever since, particularly in the areas of politics and education. She enthusiastically supported Kamala Harris during the 2024 election cycle.
