Michelle and Barack Obama‘s divorce rumors have caused a bit of a stir despite her previously denying them. Reports mentioned that she previously dismissed talks about tensions in their marriage during her appearance on Sophia Bush’s “Work in Progress” podcast. However, RadarOnline recently cited unknown sources, claiming that the former first lady has “turned on the charm” and shared bold exchanges with other men in a “calculated payback” toward Barack’s past behavior in a classic male banter.
Michelle Obama’s male banter is ‘part confidence and part calculated payback,’ ‘source claims
RadarOnline reported that Michelle Obama’s male banter is in response to Barack Obama’s past behavior in light of divorce rumors. Speculation about the couple’s marital problems surfaced earlier this year after Michelle failed to join her husband for President Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony and then former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral in January. She notably stepped away from the public eye and explained her reason a few months ago during a podcast appearance.
The publication cited sources that Michelle is “getting bolder and more playful” and seemingly “knows what she’s doing.” An insider claimed that it has been “part confidence and part calculated payback” to Barack’s behavior. Besides turning on her charm, Michelle reportedly “flirts, jokes, and shows a spark with men who make her feel admired.” Reportedly, she previously made cheeky exchanges with Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on her “IMO” podcast.
Regardless of recent claims, Michelle and Barack Obama have shown a united front in the face of divorce rumors. The mom of two honored her husband on Father’s Day last month with a heartfelt message and adorable family portrait. Additionally, in April, Michelle told Sophia Bush in her “Work in Progress” podcast that by taking a break from the spotlight, she “chose to do what was best” for her. She even hinted that saying “no” raised certain rumors about her marriage.
