Barack’s Candid Comments
Barack remarked that he needed to ‘dig myself out of a hole’ with Michelle, indicating significant challenges in their marriage.
“I was digging myself out of the hole I found myself with Michelle,” Barack admitted during the event on September 25. “Now I’m at about level ground.”
These remarks came shortly after the couple was seen together for the first time in months in Portofino, Italy, where they were guests aboard director Steven Spielberg‘s luxurious superyacht. Their joint appearance only intensified ongoing rumors about a potential divorce.
Michelle has actively sought to dispel these divorce rumors, previously addressing the status of their marriage on her podcast IMO. She noted that people often assume they are divorced when they are not in the same room together.

Michelle has expressed how she remains committed to her marriage despite ongoing rumors.
In her podcast, Michelle stated, “There hasn’t been one moment in our marriage where I thought about quitting on my man, even during our hardest times. We’ve enjoyed many wonderful adventures, and I have grown as a person because of Barack.”
Though she acknowledged challenging periods, she candidly remarked, “There were years when I couldn’t stand my husband.” She further emphasized that marriage is not an equal split, saying, “Sometimes it’s 70/30 or 60/40. It’s about supporting each other.” Michelle has confidently declared, “We’ve been married for 30 years, and we will be married forever.”

An insider noted, “They want everything sorted out beforehand to avoid any ugly legal battles. With multiple properties and investments to consider, the process of untangling their lives is complex.”
Moreover, the couple’s long-standing partnership, potentially spanning over 50 years, adds to the difficulty of this situation. Observers suggest that maintaining a façade of a harmonious marriage is becoming increasingly untenable.
