After months of swirling speculation, Barack Obama and Michelle Obama have publicly addressed persistent divorce rumors on the latest episode of Michelle’s The Light Podcast. The surprise appearance of Barack on the episode — hosted by Michelle and her brother Craig Robinson — instantly triggered fan buzz.

Michelle Obama then warned her hubby not to “start,” but once everyone was settled in their seats, Robinson said, "It’s so nice to have you both in the same room together,” which made Michelle Obama address the divorce rumors. “I know, because when we aren’t, folks think we’re divorced,” she said.
