Barack Obama & Michelle Obama Joke About Divorce Rumors: ‘She Took Me Back!’ [WATCH]

Barack Obama pulled up to Michelle Obama’s podcast… and the couple didn’t hold back when it came to the recent speculation.

On the latest episode of IMO, Michelle and her brother/co-host Craig Robinson teased a “very, very, very special” guest before revealing it was none other than the former president.

“This is the episode that everyone’s been waiting for with bated breath,” Craig said. “Because we have my brother-in-law, your husband, the former president of the United States.” Michelle added, “He made time in his busy schedule to come on. We are honored.”

Right away, they addressed the elephant in the room. “Wait, you guys like each other?” Craig joked. Michelle responded, “That’s the rumor mill.” Barack followed up with, “She took me back! It was touch and go for a while.”

Craig then said, “It’s so nice to have you both in the same room,” prompting Michelle to reply, “I know, because when we aren’t, folks think we’re divorced.”

Despite online chatter about solo outings and skipped events, Michelle has made it clear their bond is still solid: “There hasn’t been one moment in our marriage where I thought about quitting my man.”
