Barack and Michelle Obama have been the target of persistent rumors about their marriage for more than a year, and the former first lady is finally taking those on directly.

Former First Lady Michelle Obama has made the most definitive statement yet on rumors that her marriage to husband Barack, the former president, is on the rocks. Speaking on an episode of “The Diary of a CEO With Steven Barlett,” Obama said that “everybody would know” if the celebrated couple were struggling with their marriage.

Michelle Obama said her reason for skipping Trump’s inauguration wasn’t about Barack; she just didn’t want to go.
