A source close to the Obamas has claimed, “Barack is ready to move on, and Michelle is too. She sacrificed so much for him over the years, and now she’s finally putting herself first.” Another insider alleged, “They’re already living apart, with divorce likely to come quietly later. Admitting the failure is humiliating for them.”

Speculation about trouble in their marriage has simmered for years, but recent events have heightened concerns. Michelle’s absence from Jimmy Carter’s funeral and her extended vacation in Hawaii raised eyebrows. She also skipped Donald Trump’s inauguration, leaving Barack alone among other dignitary couples.

Michelle’s refusal to run for president has reportedly caused tension. “Barack pushed her to run, but she refused. He’s blamed her for Trump’s victory ever since,” the source revealed. The couple, married since 1992, celebrated 32 years together last year, but their 33rd anniversary may be in jeopardy. No former president has publicly divorced, not even Trump, despite two divorces before taking office.

The strain of public life, coupled with Barack’s political ambitions, has taken a toll. “Michelle believes she’s sacrificed enough,” the insider added. “Yes, she could have won, but she doesn’t share his hunger for power. Enough is enough.”
