Former U.S. President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama, who drew attention as the "perfect couple," appeared separately at various official events recently, and rumors of a "divorce" are spreading.

Rumors of their divorce first surfaced in August last year when an American entertainment media reported that Barack Obama and Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston had an affair.

In response, Jennifer Aniston denied the rumors of an affair.




In October last year, Jennifer Aniston appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live" and received a lot of calls from the publicist "What's going on?"I'm not angry about it. But that is absolutely not true."

He explained, `I only met the former president once and I know Michelle Obama more than Barack Obama.'

However, rumors continued to spread despite Jennifer Aniston's public denial of the affair.




Rumors of divorce intensified after Michelle Obama was absent from former President Jimmy Carter's funeral and Donald Trump's inauguration in January. Recently, former President Barack Obama was caught on camera alone enjoying cherry blossoms in Washington, DC, drawing attention again.

In response, Michelle appeared on a podcast hosted by actress Sophia Bush on the 9th and gave an explanation herself. He "I manage my current calendar on my own. He is no longer the president's wife, and his children are all grown up.'"Just because he did not participate in the husband's schedule does not mean that we divorced." There is also a view that as a woman, she should always meet the expectations of others", dismissing the controversy.

However, some pointed out that the explanation rather raised controversy. The U.S. media Slate reported that it has not completely quelled the divorce rumors, saying, `It has given too (excessively) ontological answers to the funeral and the absence of the inauguration.'




Meanwhile, the Obamas married in 1992 and have two daughters. In his 2018 memoir 'Becoming', Michelle Obama also said that she felt lonely and exhausted during her time in the White House.
