    Barack, Michelle Obama talk divorce rumors: ‘She took me back!’

    (TNS) — Remember all those wild divorce rumors swirling around former president Barack Obama and Michelle Obama across the past year or two?

    They really were wild — even Jennifer Aniston had to deny on an episode of Jimmy Kimmel last year that she and Obama were dating — and the Obamas certainly haven’t forgotten it all. In fact, they are leaning into it, and addressing it.

    Michelle took the lead in that endeavor, but Barack joined in while appearing on the latest episode of the podcast — “IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson” — that she does with her brother.

    “She took me back!” Barack Obama joked on the show. “It was touch and go for a while.”

    Robinson told the Obamas it was nice to have them both together in the same room.

    “I know because when we aren’t, folks thing we’re divorced,” Michelle Obama said.

    Robinson then told the couple he was cornered in an airport by a woman who wanted to know what Barack did to break up their marriage that was, in fact, not broken up.

    “These are the kinds of things that I just miss,” Barack Obama said. “So I don’t even know this stuff is going on and then somebody will mention it to me and I’m like what are you talking about?”

    And then Michelle Obama really put a nail in the rumors.

    “There hasn’t been one moment in our marriage where I’ve thought about quitting on my man,” she said. “And we’ve had some really had times and we’ve had a lot of fun times, a lot of adventures and I have become a better person because of the man I’m married to.”

    Michelle Obama skipped the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter and the inauguration for Donald Trump earlier this year while Barack Obama attended. That seemed to add new fuel to the rumors. She previously addressed that on her podcast earlier this year.

    “My decision to skip the inauguration, what people don’t realize — or my decision to make choices at the beginning of this year that suited me were met with such ridicule and criticism,” she said then. “People couldn’t believe that I was saying no for any other reason that they had to assume that my marriage was falling apart.”
