Barack and Michelle Obama have sparked speculation that they may be ‘set for divorce’.

Some fans of the couple are speculating on X that they are headed for ‘divorce’.

It was revealed that Michelle would not be in attendance with her husband for Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Their office shared the update this week: ‘Former President Barack Obama is confirmed to attend the 60th Inaugural Ceremonies. Former first lady Michelle Obama will not attend the upcoming inauguration,’.

Fans also noticed that the 60-year-old was absent from former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral on January 9 – due to ‘scheduling conflict’.

One fan wrote on X: ‘I’m calling it, the Obamas are getting a divorce,’ while another agreed: ‘An Obama divorce would not be on my 2025 predictions but it might happen.

‘Her and Obama are on the outs!! They are getting a divorce!!! She doesn’t want to be around him!!!’  said another.

‘Sounds like an Obama divorce is on the horizon, we’ve all seen it, they stop attending functions together,’ another typed.

Another user also said: ‘I feel like the Obamas are about to get a divorce..’

Others however, have dismissed these speculations. One person said: ‘I don’t know anything about their marriage, but it’s very clear to me that Michelle Obama is making a very specific *political* statement with these absences. She would never choose Jimmy Carter’s funeral to announce her divorce. Let’s be sensible here,’ while another agreed: ‘Michelle Obama is in mourning/grieving the loss of her mom… On top of her not being a political figure and you all believe a TikTok about her and Barack getting a divorce because she missed a funeral and won’t attend a felon’s inauguration.’

The couple met in 1989 and got married in 1992. They share two daughters, Malia, 26 and Sasha, 23.
