Michelle Obama has sent social media into overdrive with a ‘romantic’ tweet. After the tweet went live, speculations started whether it was a calculated move to dismiss the ongoing divorce rumors with her husband. The former first lady shared a photo of herself and Barack Obama dining together, smiling and holding hands. The caption read like this: “Love you, honey!”
The move came as a repost after Barack Obama’s earlier post where he wished Michelle a happy birthday on January 17th, on Twitter, writing: “Happy birthday to the love of my life, @MichelleObama. You fill every room with warmth, wisdom, humor, and grace—and you look good doing it. I’m so lucky to be able to take on life’s adventures with you. Love you!”
Of course, the Tweet has a loving touch, but skeptics can’t help but question the real motive behind the repost. The move seems to come off as an attempt to control the damage as rumors of trouble in the Obamas’ marriage are in the light. The fresh speculation about Barack’s alleged link to actress Jennifer Aniston has thrown fuel on the fire. Although the evidence is scanty to prove the truth of this affair, the whispers have persisted for years. And now, the discussions have resurfaced on social media.
The claims trace back to a 2007 Hollywood gala where Barack and Aniston met. The actress, however, has denied any close relationship with the former president. During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Aniston didn’t hesitate to address the rumors. She said: “I’ve met him [Obama] once. I know Michelle more than him.” She laughed off suggestions of anything more, calling them untrue.
Nevertheless, a tabloid magazine once ran a story titled “The Truth About Jen & Barack!” alleging an affair. Even today that continues to fuel speculation despite Aniston’s strong denial.
In addition to the Aniston allegations, reports suggest that Barack and Michelle Obama’s marriage might not be going through a pleasing phase.
According to Radar Online, the couple is described as being “just friends” after over three decades together. Barack’s recent solo appearance at Jimmy Carter’s funeral and Donald Trump’s inauguration added to the rumors. Many started questioning why Michelle wasn’t by his side.
In her Twitter post, one user wrote, “Nothing says “I love you” like sitting a table apart and not showing up with your spouse for important national events.”
Insiders claim the couple has been recently focused on living independent lives. That has sparked conversations about whether the couple is up for a potential rift. Yes, the public image is sported and polished, but behind-the-door scenes might be different!
The loving photo, complete with smiles and hand-holding, could be interpreted as a message to the public: the Obamas are still a team.
As rumors of marital strain and dating story swirl around the former President and first lady, their public appearances are under intense scrutiny. Michelle’s tweet has provided a glimpse into their relationship, but whether it’s a genuine PDA or a calculated move to quell divorce rumors remains up for debate, leaving the world watching and wondering!
