Marriage is ‘hard’, says Michelle Obama amid divorce rumours

Ever since former First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, skipped a few public appearances with her husband and former President of the US Barack Obama, rumours are rife about trouble in their marriage.

And if true, this would be a high-profile divorce. Moreover, Barack and Michelle Obama have been married for over 30 years, which makes rumours about their divorce all the more shocking, reports the Times of India.

Now, setting the record straight about the speculations of their troubled marriage, Michelle recently told entrepreneur and investor Steven Bartlett in a podcast, "If I were having problems with my husband, everybody would know about it (laughed)".

Adding to it, Michelle, who was attending the podcast with her brother Craig Robinson, said, "Let me tell you, he would know it... And everybody would know it."

She further said that she's "not a martyr" and joked, "I would be problem-solving in public, like, 'Let me tell you what he did'." To which her brother Robinson added, "If they were having a problem, I'd be doing a podcast with him."

But on a serious note, talking about her marriage and relationship issues, Michelle also said that marriage is "hard" for her and Barack Obama, reported Daily Mail.

However, she was quick to add that she "wouldn't trade it (anything else in the world)," calling Barack Obama, "as the young people say... my person."
