Barack and Michelle Obama post Valentine’s Day selfie as divorce rumours swirl

Barack and Michelle Obama post Valentine’s Day selfie as divorce rumours swirl.

Former President Barack Obama kicked off Valentine’s Day with a flirty message to his wife Michelle affirming she’s still the one after more than three decades together.

“Thirty-two years together and you still take my breath away,” the former president wrote in a post on X Friday.

“Happy Valentine’s Day, @MichelleObama,” Obama, 63, added, along with a selfie of the two beaming together.

Michelle Obama responded to her hubby with a sweet post of her own.

“If there’s one person I can always count on, it’s you, @BarackObama. You’re my rock. Always have been. Always will be. Happy Valentine’s Day, honey!” she wrote with a heart emoji and the same selfie.

The affectionate posts come amid unfounded rumours that the couple could be headed for divorce and even that the Democrat – who served as president from 2009 to 2017 – was having an affair with “Friends” actress Jennifer Aniston.

The gossip swirled after Michelle, 61, skipped Jimmy Carter’s funeral and President Trump’s inauguration last month.

Before Obama’s Washington, D.C., trip, where he was seen dining alone at an Italian hotspot, he posted a loving message on Instagram in honour of his wife’s birthday.

“Happy birthday to the love of my life, @MichelleObama,” he wrote in the January 17 post.

“You fill every room with warmth, wisdom, humour, and grace – and you look good doing it,” he added.

The former first lady, who is the mother to their two daughters Sasha, 23, and Malia, 26, had a short and sweet response.

“Love you, honey!” she commented, with a heart and kissing-face emoji.
