 <\/p>\n

Barack and Michelle Obama have both addressed rumors about their marriage falling apart.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The former president and first lady have been married<\/a> for 31 years and share daughters<\/a> Malia, 27, and Sasha, 24, together.<\/p>\n

Barack<\/a> was in office for eight years between 2009 to 2017 having served two terms at the White House.<\/p>\n

Undeniably having such a high profile and important job would put a strain on even the strongest of couples, but the Obamas always remained steadfast.<\/p>\n

While it’s been almost a decade since Barack was president, it’s only been more recently that he and his wife of many years have been rocked with divorce rumors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Michelle has addressed the theories<\/a> on the state of their marriage on a few occasions, but now the celebrity<\/a> couple have addressed the matter together.<\/p>\n

Barack recently featured on a new episode Michelle’s IMO<\/em> podcast<\/a> that she hosts with her brother Michael. On it, Michelle said that ‘folks think we’re divorced’.<\/p>\n

Addressing their relationship further, she said: “There hasn’t been one moment in our marriage where I thought about quitting my man. And we’ve had some really hard times. So we had a lot of fun times, a lot of adventures, and I have become a better person because of the man I’m married to.”<\/p>\n

Barack became emotional at her comments, replying: “Okay, don’t don’t make me cry right at the beginning of the show that’s so don’t let me start tearing up now.”<\/p>\n

Michelle went on to talk about the earlier days of her and Barack’s marriage, recalling what he was like as a father after giving birth to their first child, Malia.<\/p>\n

She said: “He was an engaged father from the minute they were born. He wasn’t the kind a man that was like, ‘I don’t do this, I don’t change diapers, hand them to me when they talk.”<\/p>\n

“When Malia was a baby, we shared 50-50,” she continued, adding: “So because we shared that responsibility and Barack owned a huge part of the girls as infants, it established a relationship between him and them that carries through even today.”<\/p>\n

Michelle featured on the Diary of a CEO<\/em> podcast earlier this year where she also touched upon her marriage<\/a> to Barack.<\/p>\n

“If I was having problems with my husband everyone would know about it,” she insisted.<\/p>\n

Michelle went on to acknowledge that marriage can be hard but said that she wouldn\u2019t trade it for anything, insisting that Barack was ‘her person’.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
