Former First Lady Michelle Obama has hammered another final nail into the coffin of divorce rumors from her 44th president husband, Barack Obama, with a sweet 64th birthday message. Michelle, 61, wrote: “Happy birthday to my love, my best friend, my everything! @BarackObama, even after all these years, you’re still the coolest guy I know.” They married in Chicago in 1992, but fell victim to persistent rumors of a split earlier this year on the back of them attending a series of events on their own, ABC reported. Last month, Barack appeared on Michelle’s IMO podcast, which she hosts with her brother Craig Robinson, where he put those rumours to bed. As he entered the studio, Robinson quipped, “What, you guys like each other?” to which Barack responded: “She took me back. It was touch and go for a while!” Michelle, too, previously appeared on Sophia Bush’s Work in Progress podcast, where she said, “There hasn’t been one moment in our marriage where I thought about quittin’ my man.” The former president has been at the center of a MAGA-driven campaign amid Donald Trump’s Jeffrey Epstein freak-out, which also saw Attorney General Pam Bondi order federal prosecutors to launch a grand jury investigation into allegations the Obama administration doctored intelligence regarding 2016 election interference from Russia.
