Michelle Obama is setting the record straight.
In a recent podcast appearance, the former First Lady of the United States firmly dismissed speculation surrounding her marriage to former President Barack Obama, reaffirming their bond after 32 years together.
Michelle Obama shares truth about her relationship with Barack and her mother
Michelle Obama clears the air
Speaking candidly on the Work in Progress podcast hosted by Sophia Bush, Obama opened up about the personal choices she’s made since leaving the White House in 2017.
Her remarks come amid growing online chatter suggesting trouble in her marriage, rumors she firmly rejected as baseless and rooted in societal assumptions.
“The interesting thing is that, when I say ‘no,’ for the most part people are like, ‘I get it, and I’m okay,'” Obama shared.
“That’s the thing that we as women, I think…we struggle with disappointing people. I mean, so much so that this year people were…they couldn’t even fathom that I was making a choice for myself that they had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing.”
Now 61, the Becoming author said her decisions are part of a larger personal journey, one focused on self-exploration and intention.
“This couldn’t be a grown woman just making a set of decisions for herself, right?” she noted.
“But that’s what society does to us. We start actually, finally going, ‘What am I doing? Who am I doing this for?'”Michelle, who shares two daughters, Malia and Sasha, with Barack, reflected on what it means to embrace autonomy in this chapter of her life.
“If not now, when? What am I waiting for?” she said.
“Now is the time for me to start asking myself these hard questions of, ‘Who do I truly want to be every day?'”
Despite making space for personal growth, Obama made it clear that her commitment to her marriage and public work remains strong.
“It looks like whatever I want it to look like, and I still find time to give speeches and to be out there in the world and to work on projects,” she said.
Barack Obama, too, recently reflected on their relationship, admitting during a public event that he had been making efforts to rebalance their dynamic after his presidency.
“I was in a deep deficit with my wife,” he said, “so I have been trying to dig myself out of that hole by doing occasionally fun things.”
The Obamas, long admired for their partnership, continue to inspire, both as individuals and as a couple navigating life after the presidency.

Casagrande em entrevista ao Canal GB (Reprodução - YouTube) Casagrande vê o Santos em uma missão árdua para encontrar o substituto de Pedro Caixinha no mercado de técnicos. Através de vídeo publicado neste sábado (26), ele alfinetou o clube por ‘dar poderes’ a Neymar, e destacou que uma suposta falta de autonomia para os treinadores é visto como entrave. No entender do comentarista, o clube tem ficado com a imagem prejudicada no sentido de não ter uma hierarquia no comando técnico, e sim possuir Neymar como ‘manda chuva’ nos bastidores. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “Nenhum treinador está querendo ir para o Santos, Sampaoli, Dorival, Tite, Luis Castro. Ninguém vai querer ir para um time onde não vai ter autonomia, que não vai ter o poder total de escalar, substituir, tirar do time”, iniciou Casagrande. “Lá no Santos, quem manda é o Neymar. […]
2025 NFL Draft Day 2 winners and losers: Steelers still need a QB; Shedeur Sanders’ free fall continues
Getty Images For the second straight day, the biggest story at the NFL Draft continues to be Shedeur Sanders. It wasn't a total shock to see him fall out of the first round on Thursday, but it was absolutely stunning to see him go undrafted on Day 2. There were a total of 70 picks made on Friday, and although three of them were quarterbacks, Sanders' name didn't get called. Yes, the free fall is continuing for Sanders, but he's not the only one who had a bad night. Let's go over our winners and losers from Friday. WINNERS CJ Stroud. It seems like the Texans' only goal in this draft was to make life easier for Stroud. After trading out of the first round, the Texans didn't get to make their first pick until Friday and they made the most of it. […]

Getty Images LINCOLN, Ala. -- Of all racetracks across the globe where racers dare to go as fast as possible, none inspires more awe and produces a more awesome spectacle of speed than Talladega Superspeedway. Nestled in the forests of Alabama, Talladega sticks out as a massive asphalt battleground. Around its 2.66-mile length and up on top of its 33-degree banking, nowhere in the world do race cars go as fast as closely together as they do here.For the first time in 2025, the stars of the NASCAR Cup Series will screw their courage to the sticking place and try to stick at the front of the lead pack in the Jack Link's 500 at Talladega. With the field constantly three-wide and even four-wide inches apart at the highest speeds possible, Talladega is one of the most mentally demanding racetracks […]

According to CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones, Sanders' slide is a reflection of how he carried himself through the pre-draft process. An unnamed coach even told NFL Media that his interview with Sanders was "the worst formal interview I've ever been in in my life," which leads to several other questions: Did Sanders struggle in every interview? Did he purposefully bomb interviews with teams he didn't want to go to? Todd McShay of The Ringer reported recently that Sanders' interview with the New York Giants and Brian Daboll was one that did not go well."Shedeur didn't have a great interview with Brian Daboll in a private visit," McShay said.
