QUESTIONS still continue to swirl about Barack and Michelle Obama’s marriage after he shared a snap of the couple on Valentine’s Day.
The former president paid tribute to Michelle as he said she still takes his breath away.
Obama revealed he and Michelle have been together for 32 years.
But, in recent weeks there has been intense speculation about the health of their marriage.
And some critics wasted no time in bringing up the subject of their relationship after Obama uploaded the picture on X.
They touted that Obama had to share the snap to squash the speculation.
“Thought y’all were getting divorced for a second – had me worried,” one X user said.
Baseless speculation has been swirling for months that Obama and Friends star Jennifer Aniston had a secret romance.
She emphatically shut down the rumors during a sit-down on Jimmy Kimmel in October.
Aniston responded to a front page of a magazine that said “The Truth about Jen and Barack!”
“There’s no truth. I’ve met him once,” she told Kimmel.
“I know Michelle more than him.”
Although most of the followers of X who left comments on the photo praised the couple, a few criticized Obama for sharing less flattering images of his wife.
Speculation about Obama’s relationship with Michelle was fueled by a picture he posted on social media in honor of her birthday. The photo showed the couple holding hands in an awkward pose.
The couple was seen seated inside a wine cellar.
The caption accompanying the image read, “Happy birthday to my amazing wife, Michelle Obama. Your presence brings light and joy to every space, along with your wisdom, humor, and elegance – and you always look fabulous while doing it.”
“I’m so lucky to be able to take on life’s adventures with you. Love you!”
Michelle replied to the post and said: “Love you honey.”
In the picture, Obama had a beaming smile on his face and was sporting a gray shirt and smart dark trousers.
Meanwhile, Michelle sported a black v-neck dress and completed her look with a patterned headpiece.
Michelle has been out of the public eye in recent weeks.
She did not attend Jimmy Carter’s funeral or Donald Trump’s inauguration last month.
Her team confirmed she was still on an extended vacation in Hawaii.
Without his wife by his side, Obama was seen engaged in conversation with Trump at Carter’s funeral.
