Barack Obama and Michelle Obama are rumored to have ended their marriage following the ex-POTUS’s shocking admission.
Last month, Empire News published an article suggesting that Michelle filed for divorce from Barack after the latter admitted to her that he was gay. The publication even released a statement from the couple.
“It is with a bit of sadness and a whole lot of relief that I announce that Michelle and I have decided to separate, as I have admitted to her, as I’m doing now to the rest of the world, that I am a homosexual. This may come as a shock to many, and anger others, but this is my personal business, and I would hope that everyone could respect my privacy at this time,” the statement read.
Shortly after, more publications picked up on the news, and they reported it as though it was 100 percent accurate. According to Snopes, readers forgot one important thing about the publication that published the Obama divorce story.
Empire News prides itself as a satirical website the creates fictional storylines for the purpose of entertainment.
“Empire News is intended for entertainment purposes only. Our website and social media content uses only fictional names, except in cases of public figure and celebrity parody or satirization. Any other use of real names is accidental and coincidental,” their disclaimer states.
However, the publication isn’t the only one who discussed Barack and Michelle’s alleged divorce. Globe previously claimed that the former first couple has been feuding because Michelle doesn’t want to get a real job.
An unnamed source also told the tabloid that Michelle is planning to run for president in this year’s elections to get back at her husband. However, the claims of the tabloid are also fabricated.
Barack and Michelle are happily married, and they are also proud parents to their daughters, Malia and Sasha. In October, the couple celebrated their 27th wedding anniversary.
