Michelle Obama Speaks Out: Dispelling Divorce Rumors About Barack

Michelle Obama ultimately refuted the speculations about her relationship with the ex-President Barack Obama were on our way to getting divorced.

The ex-first lady had an interview with actress Sophia Bush for one episode of her podcast titled "Work in Progress" and mentioned her choice to miss President Jimmy Carter's funeral and Donald Trump Her inauguration was merely based on choices she made for herself.
