Recent rumors have suggested marital discord between former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama. These speculations intensified following Michelle's absence from significant events, such as President Jimmy Carter's funeral and President Donald Trump's inauguration, which Barack attended alone. Some interpreted these absences as signs of potential separation.
In response to these rumors, the Obamas have showcased their unity through public displays of affection. On Valentine's Day, Barack shared a heartfelt message on social media, stating, "Thirty-two years together and you still take my breath away. Happy Valentine's Day, Michelle Obama!" Michelle reciprocated with her own message, expressing, "If there's one person I can always count on, it's you, @BarackObama. You're my rock. Always have been. Always will be. Happy Valentine's Day, honey!"

She announced plans for a memorial garden at the Obama Presidential Center, stating, "Barack and I look forward to honoring her memory through a dedicated space at the Obama Presidential Center."
