Michelle Obama made a bizarre comment during a recent interview that raised even more speculation about the state of her marriage with her husband.
Appearing on NPR’s “Wild Card” podcast with host Rachel Martin this week, Michelle attempted to address why she and Barack are rarely seen out in public.
“The fact that people don’t see me going out on a date with my husband sparks rumors of the end of our marriage,” Michelle told Martin earlier this week.
“It’s the apocalypse!” Martin mockingly exclaimed.
“It’s like, ‘OK, so we don’t Instagram every minute of our lives. We are 60,” she added. “You are just not going to know what we’re doing every minute of the day.”
“We don’t take selfies.”

This comment from Michelle immediately sparked confusion across social media and did nothing to shut down the months-long divorce rumors.
After all, most healthy couples have no issue hanging out together in public, regardless of age.
BREAKING: Michelle Obama says she and Barack don’t spend much time together these days because they’re both over 60.
Wtf does that even mean?

Michelle Obama makes excuses for why he and Barack are never seen going out together.
Michelle says it’s because they’re in their sixties.
That’s nonsense. They’re just not in love.
Barack needs to find himself a younger man.
Enough with BO hiding his true self.

My grandparents are 80 and they are together all the time, wtf does being 60 have to do with anything?

Weird. My husband and I are in our seventies, and we hang out with each other every day. It’s wonderful to be able to do that after decades of working every day. Of course, we like each other’s company.

I’m 70, married for 41+ years, and still hang out with my (fully 100% female) wife all the time.
The Obamas don’t hang out together because they are free agents and who, in their right mind, would want to hang with EITHER of those cretins?— Jon Goldberg (@Orojon) June 27, 2025
