Allegations Surface About Barack and Michelle Obama’s Marriage

CHICAGO, IL — Former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama have been in a marriage for over thirty years, but fresh allegations suggest they are living separate lives despite public appearances.

Presidential historian Leon Wagener claims that the couple is merely maintaining a facade for the cameras. “The Obamas have been living separate lives for a while now,” Wagener stated. He added that their appearances together are “just an act for appearances’ sake,” according to a report by Reality Tea.

Rumors about marital discord have intensified, especially as Barack Obama, age 63, has been spotted dining alone at various restaurants throughout California this year. Despite Michelle Obama’s denials, Wagener emphasizes that “they clearly haven’t gotten along in years.”

In past interviews, Michelle has admitted to finding Barack’s habits annoying at times and acknowledged that marriage takes effort. Recently, Barack suggested he has faced many challenges, stating he “dug himself plenty of holes” during his presidency but feels he is now “at about level ground,” reported Reality Tea.

Further fueling the rumors, the couple did not attend significant events together, such as the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter in January. Michelle also missed the inauguration that month where Barack appeared solo. “They barely speak these days,” Wagener claimed.

Despite these claims, Michelle asserted she has never contemplated leaving Barack. Should they split, it could become one of the most expensive divorces in political history, with their combined fortune estimated at nearly $70 million.
