Barack & Michelle Obama Shut Down Divorce Rumours With Valentine's Day Selfie Post

Amid rumours about their divorce, former US President Barack Obama posted a Valentine's Day selfie with wife Michelle on Friday, putting an end to speculation.

Taking to X, Barack wrote, "Thirty-two years together and you still take my breath away. Happy Valentine's Day, Michelle Obama!"

The post comes amid rumours the couple is heading for divorce after being married for 32 years.

It's not known when the image was taken, but the former First Lady shared the same selfie on her own X account.

Michelle responded to Barack's post, stating, "If there's one person I can always count on, it's you, Barack Obama. You're my rock. Always have been. Always will be. Happy Valentine's Day, honey!"

According to reports, the couple was last spotted together in December when they stepped out for dinner in Los Angeles.

The former president had also posted last month on the occasion of Michelle's birthday.

"Happy birthday to the love of my life, Michelle Obama. You fill every room with warmth, wisdom, humor, and grace – and you look good doing it. I'm so lucky to be able to take on life's adventures with you. Love you!" he wrote.

The rumours about divorce were fueled after Obama attended Jimmy Carter's state funeral and Donald Trump's second inauguration without Michelle.

Rumours had it that the former US president was dating actress Jennifer Aniston. However, in October last year, Jennifer publicly denied the rumours, calling them "absolutely untrue" claims by a US gossip magazine.
