That led the former first lady to say she was “very invested in Brian’s love life,” to which he said he “appreciated. ”

Adding to the chatter, Barack Obama recently acknowledged that he is in a “deep deficit with my wife” and has been working to plan enjoyable activities for the two of them
Michelle, for her part, has publicly voiced frustrations with her husband, citing his past habit of being late and his tendency to avoid meaningful conversations with his golf buddies, DailyMail. com reported.
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has since focused on those remarks, telling fellow podcaster Megyn Kelly that the former First Lady “really dislikes her husband, and it’s super obvious. ”
I’m not just saying that to be catty… I think I’m trying to feel compassion for her but her hostility toward the guy is unbelievable,” he added
The former Fox News star then went on to claim “there’s nothing more destabilizing than an unhappy marriage. ”
Kelly, herself a Fox News alumna, agreed with Carlson, adding that “everything Michelle says about her husband is negative. ”
I go to what’s positive and what I love about him.”

However, Michelle dismissed rumors of marital trouble during a recent appearance on a podcast hosted by entrepreneur and investor Steven Bartlett
When Bartlett raised the ongoing speculation—specifically pointing to her absence from Donald Trump’s inauguration, which some interpreted as a sign of a rift—he noted that it fueled talk of a possible split, with some suggesting, “there’s an issue with you and Barack, there’s a divorce coming. ”

If I were having problems with my husband, everybody would know about it,” she said with a laugh
Robinson joked, “If they were having a problem, I’d be doing a podcast with him. ”
And I know that about him
And I know that about him.
He knows that about me. ”
Michelle noted further that many young people give up on marriage too quickly, partly because they’ve been misled by an unrealistic image of a perfect relationship between her and Barack
