Take a look at the video here: After months of speculation, former US First Lady Michelle Obama recently addressed rumours about their marriage. Michelle Obama said she decided to take a step back from the spotlight which led to her skipping several events and raise concerns about the couple. Speaking on Sophia Bush’s “Work in Progress” podcast, Michelle Obama said that her choice to step back was seen as a reflection of their marriage. “The interesting thing is that, when I say ‘no,’ for the most part people are like, ‘I get it, and I’m OK.’And that’s the thing that we as women struggle with — disappointing people. So much so that people, they couldn’t even fathom that I was making a choice for myself, that they had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing,” she said. She explained that after her White House duties concluded and with her two daughters now grown up, she has more freedom to decide how to spend her time.
