Michelle Obama Addresses Divorce Rumors: 'We Don't Care What Anyone Thinks'

Former First Lady Michelle Obama has addressed persistent rumors about her marriage to Barack Obama, stating they "don't care what anyone thinks." Speaking at SXSW in Austin, she discussed the challenges faced during their time in the White House, including dealing with "negative energy, rumors, and gossip." The rumors, which began last August, suggested a secret affair between Barack Obama and Jennifer Aniston. Michelle's recent absence from high-profile events further fueled speculation that the Obamas were living separate lives. However, sources close to the couple insist they are unfazed by the gossip. Michelle also mentioned that her recent absence from the public eye was due to her mother's passing and her dislike for politics. After over 30 years together, the Obamas are reportedly focused on supporting each other and will address any significant changes in their relationship when they deem it necessary.
