Barack Obama denies rumours of divorce from wife

Barack Obama denied rumours of potential difficulties in his relationship with his wife Michelle by publishing a warm and heartfelt birthday tribute on Instagram.

In his post, he expressed boundless love and gratitude towards his wife, writing: "С днём рождения, любовь всей моей жизни. Ты приносишь в мир тепло, мудрость, юмор и изящество, и при этом продолжаешь выглядеть потрясающе. Мне повезло разделить с тобой все жизненные приключения. Я тебя люблю." (Happy birthday, the love of my life. You bring warmth, wisdom, humour and grace to the world, and you continue to look stunning. I am lucky to have shared all of life's adventures with you. I love you.)

Michelle Obama did not leave him in debt and responded to the tribute on her own account, writing: «Я тебя люблю, дорогой» (I love you, dear). This gesture served as a striking rebuttal to the rumours that had emerged following her absence from a number of significant events, including the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter.

Previously, Michelle herself had admitted that their marriage had had to go through many trials, including decades of ups and downs.
