Barack Obama’s Valentine’s Day post shuts divorce theories—here’s what he wrote | World News

Former US President Barack Obama on Friday – Valentine’s Day, reaffirmed his love for Michelle Obama, his wife of over three decades with a heartfelt message and a selfie, putting a full stop on the rumors about trouble in his marriage.

In a post on X, the 63-year-old ex-president wrote, “Thirty-two years together and you still take my breath away. Happy Valentine’s Day, @MichelleObama.”

Michelle responded with equal affection, calling him her “rock” and adding, “Always have been. Always will be. Happy Valentine’s Day, honey!” accompanied by a heart emoji.

The couple’s public display of love quickly gained traction online, with Obama’s post garnering over 37 million views. Netizens flooded the comments with praise, celebrating the Obamas’ enduring bond and dismissing the affair rumors as baseless speculation.

The speculation surrounding Barack and Michelle’s marriage gained momentum after Michelle, 61, was absent from former US President Jimmy Carter’s funeral and then President Donald Trump’s inauguration last month.

Rumors intensified when Barack Obama was spotted dining alone at an Italian restaurant in Washington, DC, ahead of his trip.

Despite the gossip, Obama had shared a heartfelt birthday message for Michelle on January 17, calling her “the love of my life” and praising her warmth, wisdom, humor, and grace. Michelle responded with a brief but affectionate reply, writing, “Love you, honey!” followed by a heart and kissing-face emoji.

Multiple reports suggest that Michelle Obama primarily stays at the Martha’s Vineyard estate, while Barack Obama resides in Washington, DC’s Kalorama neighborhood. Speculation about tensions in their relationship has surfaced, including unverified claims linking the former president to actress Jennifer Aniston, though no concrete evidence supports these rumors.

Hall of Famer Steve Young weighs in on Aaron Rodgers’ NFL future as possible divorce with Jets looms

Aaron Rodgers’ time in a New York Jets uniform could soon come to an end. It is “unlikely” the Jets will “move forward” with the four-time NFL MVP quarterback, FOX Sports reported earlier this week.

The report on Rodgers’ future surfaced shortly after the Jets brought in Aaron Glenn as the team’s next head coach and named Darren Mougey the general manager. Rodgers and the Jets divorcing could be a sign that Gang Green wants to go into the offseason with a clean slate.

If Rodgers’ stint in New York does officially reach an endpoint around the start of the NFL’s new league year in March, he will leave the Jets with 18 starts over two seasons. Rodgers suffered a season-ending injury in the first week of the 2023 campaign.

JETS GAVE AARON RODGERS ULTIMATUM ON ‘PAT MCAFEE SHOW’ APPEARANCES: REPORT

While an unceremonious exit from the Jets could spark questions about whether the 41-year-old Rodgers will decide to step away from the NFL, Pro Football Hall of Famer Steve Young believes the quarterback still has the tools to be an effective player.

“In today’s game, Tom Brady said it best. The flats are always open, the middle of the field is unpatrolled, and no one can hit me,” said Young during a recent appearance on “The Dan Patrick Show.”

“And by the way I make $50 million dollars. So I think that Aaron because he’s healthy a full year, look the mobility is down and everything else, but if he can get to a place that understands the position, has innovative mindsets of more and more places like that, that you can get to where you can take advantage of the new football that’s being played. If he can get to one of those spots I’m sure he’d still love to go play some great football, especially with a more innovative mind.”

Rodgers threw 28 touchdowns against 11 interceptions over 17 games in 2024. While Rodgers is much closer to the end of his career than he is to the beginning, he did have moments this past season where he played well.

However, it remains unlikely that Rodgers will regain his MVP-caliber form. But with several NFL teams being in desperate need of competent quarterback play next season, Rodgers could draw interest if he does end up on the free agent market.

The Jets parted ways with head coach Robert Saleh in October and went on to finish with a 5-12 record.

Stephen A Smith says he would divorce Serena Williams for Super Bowl halftime show cameo

Serena Williams made a surprise cameo during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX halftime show, as she was spotted dancing during the performance of “Not Like Us.”

Making an appearance for that song sparked some debate on social media, especially considering Lamar’s song is a diss track toward the rapper Drake, whom Williams dated in 2011.

Many believed it was no coincidence Williams’ time to shine was during this track, and ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith thinks the same.

It’s why, during his Monday edition of “First Take,” he told his colleagues he would divorce her if he was her husband.

“If I’m married and my wife is going to join trolling her ex, go back to his a–, ‘cause clearly you don’t belong with me,” Smith said on the show, which led to some laughter from his colleagues.

“What you worried about him for and you’re with me? Bye. Bye.”

Williams is married to Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit, and they share two daughters together.

Smith’s co-host Ryan Clark responded, “If you were with Serena Williams, you’re going to be a kept man anyways. Don’t start that.”

Lamar and Drake have quite the beef with each other, though only one of them saw Grammys won for their diss tracks.

“Not Like Us” won Song of the Year, which also won Record of the Year, Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, and Best Music Video.

It’s also worth noting Lamar was joined by SZA during the performance as well, and she confirmed dating Drake after he rapped about it on the track, “Mr. Right Now,” with 21 Savage and Metro Boomin.

Whether it’s trolling or not, Williams and Lamar do share a connection with their childhood, having grown up in Compton, California.

Legendary actor Samuel L. Jackson was also seen during the performance as “Uncle Sam,” as Lamar switched songs throughout.

Rodionova then went to shake Vickey’s hand. The AFL player decided to try to give her the banana instead.

“Life happens. We have lots of love for each other but sometimes it’s just not enough,” she wrote in the caption of the video, which was posted to Instagram.

The New York Post noted that the divorce came nearly two weeks after Rodionova announced the launch of her OnlyFans account.

“Good news for everyone who was asking. My OnlyFans account was confirmed, so here we go. Let’s do this,” she said in a previous Instagram Post.

As a singles competitor, she has 552 wins. She became the oldest woman to make her WTA top 100 debut at the age of 34 last year. She has one career doubles title and was ranked as high as No. 41 in competition.
