Barack Obama Posts A Picture Of Him & Michelle For Their 33rd Anniversary
The Obamas are two of the most famous people who have ever lived in the White House, given Barack's historic election as the first Black president, and all the work he and Michelle did during his two consecutive terms. Since they departed from the White House in 2017, they've expressed individually wanting to return to a sense of normalcy, giving themselves and their two daughters a rest, while continuing to work on solo charitable and advocacy projects.
However, some tension began brewing after the pair started showing up in public more individually than together, and it had the internet convinced that they were having marital spats or even separating. One of the most notable moments was when the famous politician attended President Trump's second inauguration this year without Michelle, a situation that had many freaking out. Although both Michelle and Barack did what they could to shut down divorce or breakup rumors in separate interviews, the former president's latest X post, which contained a new selfie of them, really calmed some nerves.
"The best decision I ever made was marrying you @MichelleObama," wrote the Hawaiian-born politician. "For 33 years, I've admired your strength, grace, and determination — and the fact that you look so good doing it all. Happy anniversary!"
