Michelle Obama is set to explore the topic of divorce in an upcoming video podcast alongside her brother, amid ongoing speculation about her own marriage.
Michelle Obama will explore the topic of divorce in her new video podcast. This comes as rumors about her marriage to former President Barack Obama continue to spread.
Michelle Obama addresses marriage and divorce in her latest podcast
The former first lady, 61, will co-host the podcast, “IMO” (short for “In My Opinion”), alongside her brother, Craig Robinson. The podcast, produced by Higher Ground, the Obamas’ media company, will feature celebrity guests and personal discussions.
The New York Times previewed the first two episodes, each lasting about an hour.
Michelle and Craig will offer personal advice and reflect on their upbringing on Chicago’s South Side. They will avoid discussing current political affairs.
Robinson will open up about his divorce.
Michelle will speak about her marriage, her initial hesitations about Barack’s presidential campaign, and life after the White House.
She will also share her experience of regaining independence, including driving again after years of Secret Service protection.
Divorce rumors continue to follow the Obamas
The announcement of the podcast comes as speculation about the Obamas’ marriage grows. The couple, married for 32 years, has not been seen together frequently in recent months.
Earlier this month, Barack Obama attended an NBA game alone.
He was also seen without Michelle at Jimmy Carter’s state funeral and Donald Trump’s inauguration. Meanwhile, Michelle was spotted dining with her brother Craig at a restaurant in Los Angeles.
Despite the rumors, Barack attempted to dispel speculation by posting a Valentine’s Day tribute to Michelle on Instagram.
He wrote, “Thirty-two years together and you still take my breath away. Happy Valentine’s Day, Michelle Obama!”
Michelle shared the same image, captioning it, “If there’s one person I can always count on, it’s you, Barack Obama. You’re my rock. Always have been. Always will be. Happy Valentine’s Day, honey!”
The Obamas’ growing presence in California
Since 2021, the Obamas have spent more time in California. Their eldest daughter, Malia, moved to Los Angeles after graduating from Harvard to pursue a career in screenwriting and film production.
Their younger daughter, Sasha, transferred to the University of Southern California from the University of Michigan in 2022.
She graduated with a sociology degree and has shown interest in joining the entertainment industry like her sister.
The Obamas’ connection to California dates back to 2016. After leaving the White House, they took a family vacation in Palm Springs.
Their affection for the state has continued to grow, aligning with their children’s career paths.
