Barack Obama's Mother's Day Note Dismisses Michelle Divorce Rumors
On this year's Mother's Day, which was celebrated on May 11, the internet was flooded with emotional posts from popular celebrities, including one by former President Barack Obama. The 63-year-old politician shared a heartfelt post on his X (former Twitter) celebrating the special day. Additionally, Obama's note subtly shut down his ongoing divorce rumors with his wife, Michelle Obama.
Barack Obama recently took to his X (formerly Twitter) to share a post celebrating Mother's Day. The former president shared a black and white photo of his wife, Michelle, with their two daughters, Malia and Sasha Obama. He captioned the post, 'Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms and mother-figures!' Furthermore, he expressed gratitude towards his wife for making their lives better. '@MichelleObama, the girls and I are so lucky to have you in our lives. We love you,' he added. The politician also shared the same post on his Instagram account.
Besides the Mother's Day wish, Barack Obama's post can be taken as a way to shut down divorce rumors with Michelle. Acknowledging his wife, the father of two implied that all is well between the couple. Previously, he shared glimpses of his life with his wife on social media, including one on Valentine's Day, thus showing that the couple is still going strong in their 'thirty-two years together.'
Barack and Michelle Obama's divorce rumors have been making the rounds for quite some time now. The two sparked a separation speculation when Michelle wasn't seen with her husband at two important events. These were former President Jimmy Carter's funeral and Donald Trump's inauguration in January.
However, the attorney cleared the air on the 'Work in Progress' podcast by Sophia Bush. She mentioned her absences were just a personal choice and nothing else. The former first lady also addressed the divorce buzz, explaining, 'This year, people couldn't even fathom that I was making a choice for myself. They had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing.'

Clarence Page: Big, beautiful bromance breaks up — live on social media
For those who think government should be run like a business, the messy social media spat that played out last week between President Donald Trump and billionaire CEO Elon Musk suggested that business could be doing a lot better. That may help to explain why shares of Musk's company Tesla dropped 14% Thursday, falling for the second straight day as the spat between the richest man in the world and the most powerful man in the world oozed into a meltdown. Ironically, the fight played out on the social media platforms Truth Social, majority-owned by the president, and X, formerly Twitter, which Musk bought and renamed in 2023 and subsequently turned into a megaphone for far-right politics and Trumpism. To many observers, the breakup of this bromance seemed inevitable, less because of the bros' differences than the great deal they share in common. 'Like 'Alien v. Predator' for political nerds,' The Guardian ballyhooed — and, as a dedicated political nerd, I agree. What else can we expect from two megalomaniacs dedicated to fame, money and far-right politics and experienced with messy divorces? 'I suppose it was in the stars,' Rep. Jamie Raskin, of Maryland and top Democrat on the House judiciary committee, told reporters on Capitol Hill. 'Everybody was predicting it when it first began. You've got two gentlemen with gargantuan egos and both appearing to suffer from malignant narcissistic personality disorder.' Ah, how far the oligarchic dream team has tumbled since Trump and Musk joined forces to wage war against what Musk branded 'the woke mind virus' — and of course to pursue riches through tribute (Trump) and government contracts (Musk). The table for the breakup was set in late May when the U.S. House of Representatives narrowly passed Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a domestic policy spending bill, which among other things would eliminate subsidies for electric vehicles such as those Tesla makes. Musk began grousing about the bill early last week, but he mostly confined his criticism to the amount by which the bill would increase the deficit. Trouble began in earnest Thursday, while Trump was meeting in the Oval Office with Chancellor Friedrich Merz of Germany. A reporter asked Trump about Musk's criticism of the bill. Trump pointedly referred to the relationship in the past tense and cast doubts on its happy future. Musk later slipped in a jab, suggesting that Trump and the Republicans could never have prevailed in last year's elections without the $288 million that Musk spent to put them over the top. 'Such ingratitude,' he huffed. The exchange became more heated as Musk lashed the legislation as a 'disgusting abomination' that would bankrupt the country. He then rallied his online followers to 'Kill the Bill' and things only got nastier. Among the highlights — and lowlights — Musk accused Trump of keeping the company of a pedophile. 'Time to drop the really big bomb,' Musk tweeted. '@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That's the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!' The reference is to the late registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who can be seen in widely circulated video partying with Trump. Musk later replied 'Yes' to a post that suggested Trump should be impeached and replaced with Vice President JD Vance. By Thursday afternoon, White House staff were calling the fracas 'the one big, beautiful breakup,' a reference to the legislation that ignited Musk's fury. That led to more speculation and debate as to where the feud would go next. Would it disrupt serious legislation? Who was winning the public relations battle on an ever-shifting playing field? A poll taken by YouGov asked respondents whose side they were on in the feud and found 52% said, perhaps sensibly, neither one. Only 28% picked Trump and a meager 8%, perhaps tech bros, picked Musk. Frankly, in a country loaded with people who have serious concerns about government and feel weary over such shenanigans, I hear a message in the polls: Make it stop! What happened to all the people who say government should be run like a business? The answer I hear is another question: Whose business?

The shady way Adrian from MAFS Australia responded to ex Awhina's relationship with Billy
Married At First Sight Australia might be over, but drama from the most recent season still lingers. For those who followed series nine, you'll remember Adrian Araouzo and Awhina Rutene were initially paired together, as were Billy Belcher and Sierah Swepstone. However, you'll also know that neither relationship lasted, and both couples went their separate ways. (Billy felt betrayed when Sierah attended an evening meal with Adrian and fellow MAFS contestant Tony Mojanovski behind his back, while Awhina and Adrian had a commitment ceremony, but broke up before their Final Vows.) And to ramp up the drama even more, MAFS sleuths will be aware of the dating rumours between Awhina and Billy that have been flying around for months. While we can now report that the pair are official, after claiming they were "just friends" the entire time, Adrian has since entered the chat with a shady response to the relationship. Speaking to Yahoo Lifestyle, he said he had "no clue" what Billy and Awhina are doing. But if their relationship is serious, "good luck to them." Adrian then said he "hopes it's legit," because otherwise it would be "a bit embarrassing to act like a couple just for likes and attention." He continued: "I don't understand all these games certain couples are playing. If you're with someone and happy, put it out to the world [and] be proud you guys are together. Otherwise, keep it private until it's official." He then followed up by wishing them both "nothing but happiness and a healthy, successful relationship." As it stands, Awhina and Billy look super loved up. And from their joint Instagram official post, they seem to be in it for the long haul. On Friday, they shared a carousel of some recent moments, from a sweet mirror selfie to a romantic date night. The pair captioned the post: "I'll keep this one 🤭." Err, cute.

Julianne Hough Shares Intimate Video of Her 'Egg-Freezing Journey': 'Navigating Fertility Is Never Simple'
Julianne Hough shared a video on Instagram revealing that she's undergoing her third round of egg freezing "Here we go. All in the name of having a little baby," the Dancing with the Stars alum said in the clip Hough described the process as "one of the most vulnerable experiences… physically, emotionally, and for sure hormonally"Julianne Hough is sharing her journey to becoming a mother one day. The Dancing with the Stars alum revealed that she was freezing her eggs in a video offering an intimate look at the process, which she shared on her Instagram on Saturday, June 7. 'Here we go,' Hough said in the video that she dubbed her "egg freezing journey," noting it was 'all in the name of having a little baby.' The video takes viewers through the course of 10 days, where Hough is seen smiling and dancing while she injects herself. She is also seen going to doctor's appointments. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Julianne Hough (@juleshough) By day eight, she noted that her 'hormones were kicking in. My boobs are bigger. Everything is happening.' is now available in the Apple App Store! Download it now for the most binge-worthy celeb content, exclusive video clips, astrology updates and more! Hough went into greater detail in a lengthy caption accompanying the video, thanking Dr. Carolyn Alexander and her team at Southeast Crescent Regional Commission, which specializes in fertility care and helping to create families, according to its website. 'Navigating fertility is never simple, especially with endometriosis and my own personal timeline and hopes around having children… but with them, I've always felt safe, supported and fully informed,' she wrote, adding that this was now her third round of egg freezing.'I know it's not always the most comfortable thing to talk about, let alone share publicly. But I've realized how important it is to open up about these things,' she continued. 'Women all over the world are quietly walking into doctors' offices, making huge, brave decisions about their bodies and their futures.' Hough described the process as "one of the most vulnerable experiences… physically, emotionally, and for sure hormonally." She further reflected on why she wanted to be so transparent with her fans. 'If sharing just a small piece of my journey helps someone feel less alone, or inspires them to ask questions and explore what's right for them, then I feel like it's worth it,' she wrote. In a 2020 interview with Women's Health, Hough shared that her endometriosis — which is a reproductive condition in which uterine tissue grows outside of the uterus, causing cramping and chronic pain — made her want to freeze her eggs. 'I think the healthier I am from the inside out — as far as my beliefs, my energy, what I'm putting into my body — the better prepared I'll be when the time comes,' she said at the time, when she was married to Brooks Laich. 'We never actually tried to get pregnant. It was more of a precautionary measure: Let's do our due diligence for the future by freezing eggs.' Hough ended her June 7 post by once again thanking her medical team for their unwavering care. 'I truly couldn't be more grateful for this team who's been with me since my second endometriosis laparoscopy surgery back in 2017… they've been like family ever since 💛,' she wrote.
