Barack Obama and have playfully talked about their divorce rumors head-on in a podcast recently. The couple addressed 'rumor mills' in an episode of Michelle Obama's podcast. And if sources are to be believed, the former First Lady of the United States wanted to 'ignore' the gossip, but the former President of the United States 'thought it was time to shut it down, with a wink.'
Michelle Obama's instinct to tackle rumors was different from husband, 'source' claims
Barack Obama and Michelle Obama have finally put an end to their ongoing divorce rumors. The couple talked about the news of their marriage trouble in her 'IMO' podcast. Although the former First Lady wanted to 'ignore' the rumors, as per the source, it was her husband who was eager to initiate the discussion.
'Barack thought it was time to shut it down, with a wink,' a source told Rob Shutter. The insider further revealed that 'Michelle's instinct was to ignore it,' but 'Barack wanted to joke — and guess who won?'
The insider was referring to Michelle Obama and her brother Craig Robinson's July 14 episode of the podcast. There she had welcomed a 'very special' guest, Barack Obama, the former U.S president, to the show. Looking at the warm welcome, Robinson joked about the couple saying, 'Wait, you guys like each other?.' The attorney immediately replied to the rhetorical question, saying, 'That's the rumor mill,' before proudly admitting, 'It's my husband, y'all.'
Even Barack Obama joined the conversation and joked, 'She took me back. It was touch and go for a while.' The mom of two then warned her husband not to 'start,' but there was no holding back the former US President.
Addressing the divorce rumors, Michelle Obama quipped during the podcast that when 'we aren't [together], folks think we're divorced.' To illustrate how serious their divorce rumour got, Robinson shared an encounter story with a stranger who questioned him, 'What did he do?.'
Barack Obama quickly chimed in, revealing he was unaware that 'this stuff's going on,' until someone mentioned it to him. The news of their marriage trouble started spiralling earlier this year when the former US President attended several high-profile events without his wife. However, putting all rumors to rest, Michelle Obama said in the podcast, 'There hasn't been one moment in our marriage where I've thought about quitting my man.'
