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.
