The Obamas shared a rare family photo of the entire crew gathered for Thanksgiving—an image that follows months of the former first couple living on opposite coasts and dealing with divorce chatter.
Barack and Michelle grinned brightly, arms around one another and their daughters, Sasha and Malia, who line up side‑by‑side in a joint Instagram post made on Thursday to celebrate the holiday.
In the caption, former President Barack Obama wrote: “During this season of giving, let’s do what we can to give back to the communities that have given us so much. From our family to yours, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!”
Earlier this year, the former first couple sparked speculation about their future when Michelle—now hosting her own podcast—did not attend former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral or President Trump’s inauguration. Barack was the only one present, prompting onlookers to wonder whether the marriage was in trouble.
Rumors went viral in July when Barack appeared as a guest on Michelle’s “IMO” podcast. While entering the studio, he kissed her on the cheek, prompting her brother‑co‑host, Craig Robinson, to tease the pair with a joke about whether they still liked each other. Michelle brushed it off, noting that the rumors were just that—rumors—while Barack quipped that the relationship had gone “back and forth” at times but ultimately remained strong.
Michelle addressed the speculation head‑on on the show, affirming never once having considered divorce. “There hasn’t been one moment in our marriage where I have thought about quitting on my man,” she said.
In October, the Obamas celebrated 33 years of marriage. Barack posted a selfie with Michelle to mark their anniversary, captioning the picture, “The best decision I ever made was marrying you.”
The joint Thanksgiving post has also fueled speculation that Michelle might have started using the weight‑loss drug Ozempic, following last week’s release of photos taken by photographer Annie Leibovitz. The images show her in a slim‑fitting t‑shirt layered over lightly‑fitted jeans, sparking comments from social‑media users who wondered if she had shed significant weight.
