Barack Obama, Michelle Obama rumors: Ex-POTUS allegedly ‘slapped’ wife with divorce, refused ex-FLOTUS’ demands for alimony

Barack Obama and Michelle Obama’s happy marriage has been the subject of scrutiny throughout the past couple of months. A tabloid previously claimed that the former first couple is on the brink of divorce.

Globe alleged that the ex-POTUS slapped the “Becoming” author with divorce papers, and Michelle couldn’t have been more shocked. The ex-FLOTUS also had divorce papers drawn up by her lawyers, but she didn’t expect that her husband would also file a divorce from her.

An unnamed source seemingly sided with Michelle amid her divorce rumors by saying that Barack was ludicrous to even refuse his wife’s demands for alimony.

“Word is, Barack thinks it’s ludicrous because she can clearly support herself. Michelle’s not only written a best-selling book; she has a law degree. She can go back to work anytime!” the source said.

The source went on to say the Obamas have been fighting a lot especially after Barack was accused of cheating on Michelle. And there were also claims suggesting that the couple just faked their happy marriage for political gain.

But according to the rumor-debunking site, Gossip Cop, there is no truth to the tabloid’s claims. Barack and Michelle are still happily married, and they have been enjoying each other’s company now more than ever since they are no longer in the White House.

During her appearance on the “Today” show, Michelle even shared one of her secrets to a lasting marriage.

“One of the keys to a successful marriage is separate bathrooms. When he enters my bathroom sometimes, I’m like, ‘Why are you in here?’ And he’s like, ‘I live here, can I enjoy my bathroom too?’” she said.

Michelle and Barack are also very involved in the lives of their two daughters, Malia and Sasha, even while they were still the first lady and the president of the United States. In fact, the ex-POTUS even helped coach Sasha’s basketball team in school.
