Former US president Barack Obama and his wife Michelle recently addressed the divorce rumours that have been swirling around the internet.

On an episode of Craig Robinson's podcast, the couple jested about the public's speculations about their marriage. Michelle said:

"When we aren't in the same room, folks think we're divorced."

Her husband, Barack, added that he's often oblivious to the rumours, saying:

"I don't even know this stuff's going on."

Michelle Obama emphasised the strength of their marriage, stating:

"There hasn't been one moment in our marriage where I've thought about quitting on my man."

She highlighted the ups and downs they've faced, saying:

"We've had some really hard times and we've had a lot of fun times, a lot of adventures, and I have become a better person because of the man I'm married to."

This isn't the first time the Obamas have addressed the rumours. Michelle previously mentioned on NPR's Wild Card podcast that the public wouldn't be aware of their every move, and the lack of visibility into their relationship sparks speculation.

Barack and Michelle have been married since 1992 and have two daughters, Malia and Sasha.
