Michelle Obama dismisses rumours about marital trouble with Barack Obama, explaining their rare public appearances and stating "...we don't do everything we used to do...". Obama couples' relationship has recently come under scrutiny, with paparazzi photos of Barack Obama taking solo trips with his kids, and Michelle Obama being spotted without her wedding ring.

Paparazzi and the public have been watching closely at the former first couple, the Obamas, and their seemingly unusual public appearances together or solo. Recently, paparazzi was on the lookout for any signs of trouble in the form of missing wedding rings or solo trips, and it seems they have now provided the public with answers in the form of quotes from Michelle Obama herself. Succumbing to the pressure of addressing the rumours, the former first lady explained that the couple has been in a period of transition since leaving the White House, and that their reduced public appearances together is just a part of that change.

Michelle Obama spoke out in a new interview with Essence magazine, saying: "I think people definitely don't see what happens behind closed doors. And, you know, every relationship has its ups and downs. But I think the one thing that we've proven we're not afraid of is work." She continues, "I know that marriage is hard. And I know that my kids are growing up, and they are getting to an age where they are getting a little more independent ... and when you are transitioning you know, when you are transitioning out of a presidency you have to think about your whole lives, especially your kids' lives, in a way that you never had to before,"

She goes on to explain that her husband's role in politics will undoubtedly take up more of his time, explaining that he can't "be always leaving the house every single time he's wanted somewhere ... it's just not realistic". Michelle Obama highlights how she understands the role she played in supporting her husband during his political career, and how now is just a different chapter, involving more time apart. "And I expect that we'll have plenty of time to hang out with each other, and catch up with each other, and sort of enjoy each other," she said. "Because that's who we are. The girls come first and we're just happy ... we're in a good place."

This statement highlights the couple's dedication to their marriage and family despite the travails of a busy political life and the public spotlight. It remains to be seen how the public will receive these comments, and whether this will be the end of rumours of divorce between the former first couple.
