Commentator and author Meghan McCain, daughter of the late Senator John McCain, said that her senior source confirmed that former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama are heading toward divorce. Speaking on her podcast with Book correspondent Tara Palmieri, McCain said her sources are reputable people and not like TMZ.
“I’ve heard these rumors that the Obamas are getting a divorce from reputable people. I’m not talking about TMZ. I’m not talking about Perez Hilton… I’m talking about very serious journalists who are telling me that they’re hearing that the Obama divorce rumors “correct.”
In addition, Palmieri said that she, too, had been hearing these rumors for a long time. “We’ve heard that for a long time, and I also just heard that they live separate lives.”
The duo then talked about the photo that Barack posted to congratulate him on Michelle Obama’s birthday, and they said that the photo was very bad. “I would kill Ben if he put a picture of me without makeup with that lighting on social media,” McCain said, referring to her husband, Ben Dominic. “I will kill him.” So for me, the rumors didn’t help, and why would you post this fucking picture of your wife?
“Michelle Obama always hated politics.”
Palmieri said Michelle Obama always hated politics and did not like being first lady. She said: Since they are no longer in politics, this is an opportunity to completely bring down Washington. “I’m not at home with them, but that’s not really surprising at this point in their lives, and she clearly couldn’t care less — she always hated politics! She didn’t really like being First Lady,” she said.
Michelle and Obama were last seen together in early-mid-December when they went out to dinner in Los Angeles. Divorce rumors increased amid speculation that Barack Obama was dating Jennifer Aniston, although the actor denied the rumors last October on Jimmy Kimmel.
Barack and Michelle first met in 1989 when they were both working at a law firm in Chicago. They married in 1992 and had their first daughter, Malia, in 2998, and their second daughter, Sasha, in 2001.
Barack Obama appeared solo at Jimmy Carter’s funeral and Donald Trump’s inauguration. The decision to skip both events was seen as a political message, but questions were raised about why she would spend her vacation without Barack Obama if there was no problem in their marriage.
