The love lives of US presidents are a guaranteed source of public fascination. Bill Clinton’s tryst with his former intern Monica Lewinsky has spawned dozens of documentaries and TV shows, while many column inches have been dedicated to Donald Trump’s one night stand with porn star Stormy Daniels.

Now, it’s Barack Obama’s turn under the microscope, with speculation that his 32 year marriage with Michelle Obama is on the rocks. Despite ups and downs over the years, things usually have appeared to be watertight: the former president and first lady are one of the great power couples and present as a united front.

Therefore, the fact that they have recently attended major events solo has sparked questions and unearthed some outlandish rumours from the gutters of tabloid gossip, including the bizarre theory that former president Obama was linked with Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston. What’s the reason for all this furore and how much of it should be taken seriously?.
Rumours began to circulate that Barack and Michelle Obama were drifting apart after Mr Obama attended former president Jimmy Carter’s state funeral without his wife on January 9th. All five living presidents and their partners were there, except Michelle, whose advisers told CNN that she had a scheduling conflict and was in Hawaii on an extended holiday.

Days later, the Obamas’ office released a statement saying that Michelle would be absent from another major political event: Donald Trump’s inauguration. They did not provide a reason. "Former President Barack Obama is confirmed to attend the 60th Inaugural Ceremonies. Former First Lady Michelle Obama will not attend the upcoming inauguration," the statement read. This marks a break from tradition, although Donald and Melania Trump did not attend Joe Biden’s inauguration in 2021.
