Barack Obama and Michelle Obama recently ended speculation about their marriage crisis. The couple shut down ongoing divorce rumors with a dinner date in Washington, D.C., marking their first appearance together since December. A video of the pair walking down a stairway post-dinner made rounds online, proving that all’s well in their relationship. Moreover, earlier this month, the former first lady addressed the divorce rumors in Sophia Bush’s podcast.
Barack Obama and Michelle Obama enjoy date night in Washington, DC
Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, recently went on a dinner date, shutting down the ongoing divorce rumors. The couple reportedly enjoyed the date night in Washington, D.C. A netizen captured them exiting the private room after dinner as they walked down a stairway. The former first lady walked in front, while her husband followed suit.
According to Page Six, the couple dined at the Italian restaurant Osteria Mozza. Fellow diners cheered and applauded as they made their way into the eatery. The former White House residents also waved in response, as a token of gratitude for all the love, as they exited the venue with security. It remains unclear as to when the dinner date took place.
Speculation of Barack Obama and Michelle Obama’s divorce surfaced after the latter was absent from two major public events — former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral and President Donald Trump’s inauguration. As the rumors continued, Michelle addressed the speculations in an episode of Sophia Bush’s “Work in Progress” podcast.
Standing by her decision to skip the events, Michelle expressed that it was a choice she made for herself, which only led people to assume that she and her husband were heading for a divorce. If this wasn’t enough proof of the couple’s steady marriage, the former first lady went another route to end the speculation once and for all. Ahead of the Obamas’ dinner date, Michelle flaunted her wedding ring during an outing with brother Craig Robinson in Los Angeles last week.
