The rumours, which intensified earlier this year following Michelle’s absence from former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral and Donald Trump’s second inauguration, were acknowledged for the first time in a public forum. In a candid exchange, the Obamas laughed off the speculation, offering insight into their relationship and long-standing bond.

According to the podcast, even Craig Robinson had been confronted about the rumours by strangers, underscoring how widespread the gossip had become. Barack Obama admitted he was often unaware of such discussions, while Michelle offered heartfelt reflections on their shared journey.
