The Obama divorce drama is heating up. Former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, are said to be on the outs. The beloved political couple have been dodging rumors of a secret split for months. There has even been speculation that Barack has been carrying on an affair with actress Jennifer Aniston. Now, sources claim that their $70 million divorce is drawing closer as the couple has secretly been splitting their assets.
According to Radar Online, The Obama family is on the brink of disaster. Barack and Michelle are allegedly close to announcing the end of their 32-year marriage. If the rumors are true and the duo opts to end their marriage, it would mark the first-ever former President and First Lady to divorce after leaving the White House.
However, insiders claim that they’re getting everything in order before they announce a split. Lawyers for the Obamas are allegedly working to sift through the pair’s $70 million in assets. The pair are said to be dividing up their shared property to have everything squared away before letting the public know about their divorce this year.
Obama Divorce Drama Continues As Barack and Michelle Divide Assets In Secret Split
“They want to have everything ironed out in advance,” an insider tells the outlet. “The last thing they want is an ugly fight with lots of nasty legal filings.”
It was previously reported that Barack and Michelle’s marriage went from loving to “venomous” during the 2024 Presidential election. The ex-president allegedly wanted his wife to become the Democratic Party candidate following Joe Biden’s exit from the race in July. However, instead of focusing on politics, Michelle wanted to pursue her own passions, which caused a rift in their marriage.
After Michelle allegedly refused to run for office, Barack was forced to back Kamala Harris, which was a “total humiliation” for the former leader. The political pair reportedly live separate lives on opposite sides of the country.
Meanwhile, lawyers have reportedly been tasked with dividing the couple’s real estate properties in Martha’s Vineyard, Washington D.C., and Chicago. They also allegedly have a $25 million stock portfolio and other revenue from their career ventures over the years.
Neither Obama nor Michelle Obama have publicly spoken about the divorce rumors. However, the pair haven’t been spending much time together in public, which has only earned them more speculation about the state of their marriage. For now, it appears to be a waiting game to see if there is any truth to the rumors.
