Rumours about the couple heading for divorce have been circulating on social media, fuelled by reports that Michelle will not be attending the upcoming inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump on January 20.

Michelle’s office confirmed that she will not be attending the event saying, “Former President Barack Obama is confirmed to attend the 60th Inaugural Ceremonies. Former First Lady Michelle Obama will not attend the upcoming inauguration.” However, no specific reason was provided for her absence.

Barack and Michelle, who tied the knot in 1992 at Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ, have been married for over three decades and share two daughters, Malia and Sasha.
