\u201cShe took me back! It was touch and go for a while,\u201d the former president joked.<\/p>\n
From there, the couple noted that the speculation about their marriage seemed to stem mainly from the fact that they often make solo public appearances due to their busy schedules.<\/p>\n
Michelle joked that it was \u201cnice to [be] in the same room\u201d with her husband, adding, \u201cWhen we aren\u2019t, folks think we\u2019re divorced.\u201d<\/p>\nFirst Lady Melania Trump, President Donald Trump, former President Barack Obama, Michelle Obama at the US Capitol after inauguration ceremonies at the in Washington, DC, on January 20, 2017.

\u201cThere hasn\u2019t been one moment in our marriage where I have thought about quitting my man,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve had some really hard times and we\u2019ve had a lot of fun times, a lot of adventures, and I\u2019ve become a better person because of the man I\u2019m married to.\u201d<\/p>\n
Robinson then revealed that the divorce speculation is so rampant that strangers interrogate him on the street.<\/p>\nFormer U.S. President Barack Obama greets former first lady Michelle Obama as he arrives to speak on stage during the second day of the Democratic National Convention at the United Center on August 20, 2024 in Chicago, Illinois.

[She asked], \u2018Can I have a picture?\u2019 You know how you get the side hug? She was like, \u2018What did he do? \u2026 He did something, didn\u2019t he?\u2019\u201d Michelle\u2019s brother shared.<\/p>\n
Craig says when he assured the woman that Barack and Michelle are still together, \u201cshe was so happy, you would have thought [Robinson] gave her a Christmas gift.\u201d<\/p>\n
For his part, Barack claims he wasn\u2019t even aware<\/em> of the divorce rumors.<\/p>\n\u201cThese are the kinds of things I just miss. I don\u2019t even know this stuff is going on and then somebody will mention it to me, and I\u2019m like, \u2018What are you talking about?\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
For a politician, Barack has a pretty good track record when it comes to telling the truth. But we think he might have been fibbing a bit on that one.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
