Is the Obama Marriage Over? Michelle Skips Trump Inauguration Amid Divorce Speculation

United States: Divorce rumors surrounding Barack and Michelle Obama have gained momentum, especially after it was confirmed that Michelle would not attend President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration. This marks the second time within a month that Michelle Obama has opted out of a significant event attended by her husband, with her absence from Jimmy Carter's funeral earlier in the month further intensifying the speculation.

The official statement from the Office of Barack and Michelle Obama confirmed: "Former President Barack Obama is confirmed to attend the 60th Inaugural Ceremonies. Former First Lady Michelle Obama will not attend the upcoming inauguration." This decision is a departure from tradition, as former presidents and their spouses typically attend such events.

The Obamas, who began dating in 1989 and married in 1992, share two daughters. However, their relationship has been the subject of whispers in recent months, with social media users fueling divorce rumors. Comments on platforms like X have raised questions about the couple's marriage, citing Obama's past statements and speculation around his response to Trump's election victory.

While the rumors continue to swirl, both Barack and Michelle Obama's silence on the matter leaves much to be speculated. For now, the former first lady's decision to skip key events only adds fuel to the fire.
