In fact, Barack Obama and Michelle addressed the rumours directly on her podcast, Michelle\u2019s IMO, during a July 14 episode. Michelle made it very clear, saying, \u201cThere hasn\u2019t been one moment in our marriage where I have thought about quitting on my man.\u201d She admitted that, like any long-term couple, they\u2019ve faced tough times, but also many happy memories and adventures. She said being married to Barack has made her a better person.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"82\" data-end=\"603\">\n<h2 data-start=\"605\" data-end=\"1046\"><strong>Why did the Barack Obama and Michelle Obama divorce rumors start?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"605\" data-end=\"1046\">The rumors picked up steam earlier in 2025 when Michelle didn\u2019t attend some big public events with Barack, like Jimmy Carter\u2019s funeral and Donald Trump\u2019s inauguration. That made people wonder if something was wrong. But Michelle explained that people tend to assume the worst when she and Barack aren\u2019t seen together, even though she\u2019s just been focusing more on herself and her personal time lately.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"605\" data-end=\"1046\">\n<h2 data-start=\"1048\" data-end=\"1472\"><strong>What did Barack and Michelle Obama say on the podcast?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1048\" data-end=\"1472\">Michelle and Barack started the podcast episode joking around. She welcomed him with a kiss, and her brother (and cohost), Craig Robinson, teased, \u201cWait, you guys like each other?\u201d Michelle laughed and said, \u201cThat\u2019s the rumour mill.\u201d Barack jokingly added, \u201cShe took me back. It was touch and go for a while.\u201d Their lightheartedness showed that they\u2019re very much still a loving couple.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1048\" data-end=\"1472\">\n<h2 data-start=\"1474\" data-end=\"1811\"><strong>How long have Barack Obama and Michelle Obama been married?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1474\" data-end=\"1811\">Barack and Michelle will celebrate their 33rd wedding anniversary in October 2025. They got married on October 3, 1992. They first met in 1989 at a law firm in Chicago, where Michelle was actually assigned to mentor Barack. They started dating that same summer, and he proposed in July 1991.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1474\" data-end=\"1811\">\n<h2 data-start=\"1813\" data-end=\"2161\"><strong>Do they have children?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1813\" data-end=\"2161\">Yes, they have two daughters, Malia, born in July 1998, and Sasha, born in June 2001. Michelle has shared that she had fertility struggles, including a miscarriage, and the couple used IVF to conceive both daughters. Now that their girls are adults, Michelle has more time to focus on herself and her passions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2163\" data-end=\"2322\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Barack and Michelle are still together, happy, and stronger than ever, no divorce here, just two busy people who love and support each other deeply.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"aria-live=polite absolute\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-center\"><span class=\"flex items-center gap-1.5 select-none\"><span class=\"sr-only whitespace-nowrap! md:not-sr-only\">Ask ChatGPT<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No, they are not getting divorced.
