For some time now, the internet has been buzzing with a fresh rumor: Barack and Michelle Obama are getting a divorce. This idea was sparked by the former First Lady’s absence from several public events, including Donald Trump’s inauguration. Michelle has finally spoken out about what’s going on in their marriage.
The former First Lady of the United States appeared as a guest on Sophia Bush’s podcast. There, she revealed her frustration with not being able to simply be an adult woman making her own decisions.
“This is what we, as women, struggle with — the fear of disappointing people. So much so that people couldn’t even fathom that I was making a choice for myself; instead, they felt forced to assume that my husband and I were getting a divorce,” Michelle Obama stated.
She added that she’s at a point in her life where it’s “time to make serious decisions… If not now, then when? What am I waiting for?” Michelle shared that she’s currently reflecting on difficult questions, such as, “Who do I really want to be every day?”
