Barack Obama gushed over his wife, Michelle Obama, in a sweet Mother’s Day post after she shut down divorce rumors.

“Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms and mother-figures!” the former president wrote on X Sunday, alongside a photo of Michelle with their daughters, Malia, 26, and Sasha, 23.

“@MichelleObama, the girls and I are so lucky to have you in our lives. We love you.”

The former president took to X on Sunday to honor his wife on Mother’s Day.

Barack, 63, shared the heartfelt post after he and Michelle faced split rumors following her absence from multiple political events, including President Jimmy Carter’s funeral in January.

That same month, the former first lady also skipped President Trump’s second inauguration.

Michelle, 61, defended not going to Trump’s ceremony during an appearance on the “Diary of a CEO” podcast earlier this month.

“People couldn’t believe that I was saying no for any other reason,” she said. “They had to assume that my marriage was falling apart.”

The mom of two explained she was making the right decision for herself after attending Trump’s first inauguration in 2017.

“It took everything in my power to not do the thing that was perceived as right, but do the thing that was right for me,” she continued. “That was a hard thing for me to do.”

Elsewhere in the episode, Michelle claimed that she and Barack would not throw in the towel on their decades-long relationship.

“That’s not who we are,” she said. “And I know that about him. He knows that about me.”

During another conversation on the “Work in Progress” podcast with Sophia Bush, Michelle elaborated on saying “no” to attending political events.

“The interesting thing is that when I say ‘no,’ for the most part, people are like, ‘I get it,’” she said. “And that’s the thing that we as women struggle with — disappointing people.

“So much so that people, they couldn’t even fathom that I was making a choice for myself, that they had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing.”

Michelle and Barack tied the knot in October 1992.

The post Barack Obama says he’s ‘lucky’ to have wife Michelle in sweet Mother’s Day tribute after squashing divorce rumors appeared first on Page Six.
