Barack and Michelle Obama made their first public appearance together since rumors that the pair were divorcing began to spread. The Obamas enjoyed a dinner at Osteria Mozza in Washington D.C., giving restaurant-goers the chance to catch a glimpse of the former president and first lady as they walked out of their private dining room.

The former first lady took a step back from the public eye at the beginning of 2025. However, she recently shot down rumors that it had to do with her marriage.

Michelle Obama addressed divorce rumors in part two of her conversation with Sophia Bush on the podcast, "Work in Progress."
