Barack and Michelle Obama are trying to work things out – again. The couple, who’ve been married for more than 30 years, are reportedly back in couples’ therapy, according to multiple sources, in an effort to strengthen a relationship that’s been quietly facing challenges.
For months, speculation about their marriage has been picking up steam. RadarOnline reports that not only are Barack and Michelle attending therapy, but they’re also exploring how to divide their estimated $70 million in assets – just in case things don’t work out.

Insiders close to the Obamas say this isn’t about scandal or betrayal. “They love each other – that’s never been in doubt,” a source told Rob Shuter. “But love doesn’t erase years of emotional disconnect or different ways of showing up in a marriage.” Apparently, Barack is more comfortable with space, while Michelle is all about presence and emotional intimacy. That mismatch has always been part of their story – and it still is.
From White House pressure to podcast confessions
Michelle has spoken candidly about the ups and downs of their relationship before. Back in 2018, she told Oprah that therapy helped her reconnect with herself after becoming a mom. “You go thinking you’re going to prove your partner wrong,“ she said, “and you end up learning about yourself.”
But some recent comments have reignited chatter about a possible split. On her Light Podcast, when asked if she’d be attracted to someone who wasn’t financially stable, Michelle replied, “Uh, I married one.” Many saw it as a pointed reminder of how she supported Barack before his political rise – and possibly a subtle way to stake her claim in their financial discussions.
Meanwhile, Barack has acknowledged the strain that eight years in the White House put on their relationship. “I was in a deep deficit with my wife,” he told Hamilton College President Steven Tepper last week. “I’ve been trying to dig myself out.”
Despite all the speculation, one thing’s clear: they’re not giving up. According to sources, this latest round of therapy is about commitment, not crisis. “They’re not breaking up,” one insider said. “They’re just fighting for something that still matters to them.”
