Former First Lady Michelle Obama is once again addressing mounting speculation about the state of her marriage to former President Barack Obama — but her own words and actions continue to raise eyebrows.

In an interview on NPR’s Wild Card with Rachel Martin, Michelle attempted to laugh off the growing buzz about a possible split.

“Even in this phase in our lives, when Barack and I say something right or wrong, it does get covered. You know, the fact that people don’t see me going out on a date with my husband sparks rumors of the end of our marriage,” she said, calling the media response “the apocalypse.”

“We don’t Instagram every minute of our lives. We are 60. We’re 60, y’all. We just, you just are not gonna know what we’re doing every minute of the day, you know?” Michelle added.

But despite her efforts to deflect, Americans have noticed a distinct pattern: Michelle Obama has spent significant time apart from her husband — at high-profile events, family vacations, and media appearances — while Barack remains nowhere in sight.

Just last week, The New York Post reported that Michelle was vacationing alone with daughters Malia and Sasha in the upscale resort town of Mallorca, Spain. The trio was photographed dining at the exclusive Lobster Club in Puerto Portals, joined by former U.S. Ambassador James Costos and interior designer Michael Smith — both close Obama allies.

Barack? Nowhere to be seen. Again.

He was also absent from the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter and President Donald Trump’s historic second-term inauguration, fueling further speculation about the true status of his post-presidency presence — both in Washington and within his own household.

The former First Lady tried to dismiss the rumors again during a separate interview last month on The Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett, insisting:

“That’s not who we are. And I know that about him. He knows that about me.”

She also stressed that, after 32 years of marriage, they would never "quit" — though she didn’t provide much insight into why they’ve been so publicly distant for so long.

Still, Michelle’s own words on her personal podcast, In My Opinion, have raised more questions than answers.

In an eyebrow-raising exchange with her brother Craig Robinson and Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, Michelle seemed to joke about being single — and even hinted at a personal interest in Chesky.

“You know, I have to say, Brian, if I’m a single girl out there and I find out that Brian Chesky is single and I could like stay in his house —” she began, before Robinson cut her off: “Here she goes, right to the relationship!”

Chesky confirmed that the Obamas had previously tried to set him up, to which Michelle replied that she’s “very invested in Brian’s love life.”

For a woman supposedly in a committed, stable marriage, it was a strange and revealing moment.

Adding to the intrigue, Barack Obama himself recently admitted to being in a “deep deficit with my wife,” saying he’s been “working to plan enjoyable activities for the two of them.” Michelle, on her end, has publicly expressed frustration with her husband’s lack of communication and his apparent emotional distance — particularly his preference for golfing with friends instead of engaging in deeper conversations.

While Michelle insists that rumors of a breakup are exaggerated, her own conduct — and Barack’s conspicuous absence — continue to suggest otherwise.
