Obama Admits Struggling In His Marriage With Michelle In Candid Interview

Former US President Barack Obama recently acknowledged that his two terms as US President strained his ties with his wife Michelle Obama. Speaking at an event hosted by Hamilton College, Obama said he was reconnecting with Michelle by doing “fun things" occasionally.

“I was in a deep deficit with my wife, so I have been trying to dig myself out of that hole by occasionally doing fun things," Obama told interviewer and senior journalist Jake Tapper.

Whispers of a rift between Barack and Michelle Obama have lingered for months, surfacing again after the former US President attended Jimmy Carter’s funeral alone. Michelle’s absence was also noted during Donald Trump’s inauguration, fuelling fresh speculation of a split.
