Michelle Obama breaks silence on skipping Trump inauguration
Former First Lady Michelle Obama denies divorce rumors with her husband, and says she is reevaluating her public appearances.
Michelle Obama is letting loose in the wake of President Donald Trump's second term.
In a video posted to her official Instagram account, the "Becoming" author practiced her dance moves to 803Fresh's viral song, "Boots on the Ground (Where Them Fans At)" before joining Beyoncé's mom Tina Knowles for a book talk.
"I had so much fun talking with @MsTinaKnowles last week about her memoir, Matriarch," she wrote in her post May 9. "This Mother's Day weekend, I hope you'll check out this very special episode of @IMOpodcasts now on YouTube at the link in my bio or wherever you get your podcasts."

On April 30, the former first lady helped the fashion designer kick off nine-city book tour, "Matriarch: An Evening with Tina Knowles, Family and Friends" at the MGM National Harbor Hotel and Casino in the Washington D.C. area.
The evening ended with the duo dancing to "Boots on the Ground."
The Knowles mother's memoir "Matriarch" follows her rise from girl growing up in Galveston, Texas to mom of Beyoncé, Solange Knowles and "bonus daughter" Kelly Rowland who is recognized around the world.
Michelle Obama becoming media mogul in post-White House life

In April, during a conversation with Robinson and Oscar nominee Taraji P. Henson, the "Becoming" on Netflix star again addressed viral rumors she was divorcing former President Barack Obama by skipping the inaugural ceremony.
"My decision to skip the inauguration — or my decision to make choices at the beginning of this year that suited me — were met with such ridicule and criticism," Obama explained during the episode. "People couldn't believe that I was saying no for any other reason. They had to assume that my marriage was falling apart."

Then, during a May 1 episode of "The Diary of a CEO" podcast with host Steven Bartlett, she confessed that "if I were having problems with my husband, everybody would know about it" adding that Robinson "would know it," too. The "Becoming" author also said that "I would be problem solving in public," adding, "I'm not a martyr."
Robinson chimed in and said that if the pair were having marriage problems, "I'd be doing a podcast with (Barack Obama)."

Beckham Drama? Inside Rumors That Brooklyn and Nicola Are Feuding With the Family
Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz, are reportedly feuding with the rest of the Beckham family. Tensions have risen so high that Brooklyn and Nicola were noticeably absent from family patriarch David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations. Life & Style breaks down all the clues that have fueled the Beckham family drama rumors. Romeo Beckham began dating girlfriend Kim Turnbull in late 2024, despite her being Brooklyn's reported ex-girlfriend. The relationship caused a rift within the family after Brooklyn reportedly had an issue with Romeo dating Kim. On April 3, 2025, a source told TMZ that although Brooklyn didn't have lingering romantic feelings toward Kim, he didn't trust that her intentions with Romeo were pure. 'There's no ill will toward Romeo himself, Brooklyn just doesn't approve of Kim dating him,' according to the outlet. David's wife, Victoria Beckham, and kids Romeo, Cruz Beckham and Harper Beckham celebrated his 50th birthday early in March 2025. Romeo shared a group photo via Instagram of the evening on March 31, 2025, featuring Kim and Cruz's girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, in the snapshot. Romeo added fuel to the feud fire when he re-shared the photo on his Instagram Stories along with the message, 'Family is everything. Love you all.' The following month, Romeo and Cruz ignited rumors that there was a family feud when they seemingly mocked Nicola's Instagram comment to Romeo's ex-girlfriend, Mia Regan. 'So beautiful Mia,' the Transformers actress wrote under Mia's April 5, 2025, Instagram photo alongside a pink heart and sparkle emoji. Two days later, Romeo shared solo and couple photos with Kim, leading Cruz to comment, 'So beautiful Romeo,' with the same emojis that Nicola used on Mia's post. Reps for Cruz and Romeo did not immediately respond to Life & Style's request for comment. On May 3, 2025, David was showered with love at his official birthday party in London with his family, minus Brooklyn and Nicola, and fellow A-list friends. Romeo shared more photos of David's ongoing lavish birthday celebrations the following day, including family moments without Brooklyn. As fan theories about the family feud spewed online, a source told People that there were 'tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and the family," but the bad blood was 'definitely not beyond repair.' 'They love and are always there for him. They're just hurt and disappointed that he's now playing no part in family life,' the insider told the outlet. Meanwhile, a separate source told Us Weekly that Brooklyn and Nicola ask for 'special treatment,' and Victoria and David are 'over it.' So much, that the professional athlete and former Spice Girl reportedly declined their eldest son and daughter-in-law's invitation to celebrate David's birthday with him – privately. 'David and Victoria just want to treat everyone the same and approach life like a family and the family does things a certain way,' the source explained. 'But Brooklyn isn't playing it like that, and everything is a drama.' The source added, 'They just tell the whole family there's a party, 'Here's the time, here's the date.' It's not that complicated. Everyone else seems OK with it.' Chatter that Nicola didn't mesh well with Brooklyn's family started in 2022, after they got married earlier that year. That August, Nicola addressed the rumors with Variety and shared that the gossip stemmed from her decision not to wear a Victoria Beckham-designed wedding dress, and instead wore a gown by Valentino. 'I was going to, and I really wanted to, and then a few months down the line, she realized that her atelier couldn't do it, so then I had to pick another dress. She didn't say you can't wear it; I didn't say I didn't want to wear it,' Nicola told the publication. 'That's where it started, and then they ran with that.'
