Tara Palmeri, the podcast’s host, agreed, saying she had heard similar whispers. She suggested that Michelle’s long-standing dislike of politics could be a factor, adding, “She clearly has very little interest—she has always hated politics!”
But Here’s the Reality
Despite all the speculation, the Obamas have continued to publicly celebrate their relationship.

On Michelle’s birthday in January, the couple shared a photo on Instagram appearing to show them having dinner together. Then, on Valentine’s Day, Barack Obama posted a picture of himself and Michelle looking happy and close.
“Thirty-two years together and you still take my breath away,” he wrote. “Happy Valentine’s Day, @MichelleObama!”
Michelle also posted the photo on her Instagram stories, writing, “If there’s one person I can always count on, it’s you @barackobama. You’re my rock. Always have been. Always will be. Happy Valentine’s Day, honey!”
