Megyn Kelly calls Barack and Michelle Obama divorce 'a political earthquake' as she weighs in on rumors

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Rumors surrounding the marriage of former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama have sparked widespread speculation across social media, and now, Megyn Kelly is adding her voice to the conversation.

In her latest podcast episode, Kelly discussed the ongoing divorce rumors that have been circulating about the iconic couple, who have been married for over three decades.

Megyn Kelly discusses growing rumors about Barack and Michelle Obama’s marriage

The rumors gained traction after American author Jessica Reed Kraus shared an intriguing post on her Substack on January 15, raising questions about Michelle Obama's absence at the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter.

According to Kraus, this absence, coupled with Michelle's decision not to attend Donald Trump's inauguration, "confirmed that something was going on between her and Barack.”

“There seems to be some momentum picking up in the rumour mill about their marriage,” Kelly said during her podcast, referencing the growing online chatter.

Kelly added that the author mentioned hearing Jennifer Aniston’s name linked to Barack for several months.

She was not alone in commenting on the situation. Meghan McCain, the daughter of the late Senator John McCain, also weighed in on the rumors.

On her show, McCain suggested that she had heard similar information from sources, including a journalist who claimed that "very serious journalists" had confirmed the possibility of a divorce within the Obama family.

“I do not know whether this is true, but if it is, it truly would be a political earthquake in Democrat circles, never mind America,” Kelly remarked, highlighting the significance such an event could have on the political landscape. “I don't remember a presidential divorce in modern history.”

Tara Palmeri suggests Barack and Michelle Obama 'live separate lives'

Adding to the discussion, reporter Tara Palmeri shared her perspective, stating on her podcast that she had heard from multiple sources that Barack and Michelle “live separate lives.”

Palmeri further speculated that Michelle had little interest in politics, a sentiment that became more apparent during her time as first lady.

“I am not at home with them, but it’s not really surprising at this phase of their life,” reporter Palmeri said. “And she clearly has very little interest — she’s always hated politics! She did not really like being first lady.”

As the rumors continue to swirl, both Barack and Michelle Obama have yet to publicly address the claims, and the speculation shows no signs of slowing down.

Internet questions Jennifer Aniston story amid growing divorce rumors about Barack and Michelle Obama

Social media users expressed skepticism about the rumors linking Jennifer Aniston to Barack Obama amidst ongoing divorce speculation about him and Michelle Obama.

A user said, "There have been vice presidential divorces ....... Al and Tipper---lost the zipper."

Another added, "The Jennifer Aniston part is questionable. Michelle was absent from Jimmy Carter’s funeral. I can believe a separation. However I don’t agree with Megyn stating it would be a political earthquake."

The third commentator remarked, "They may be, but I don’t believe that Jennifer Aniston story."

"I don’t buy the J. Aniston stuff, but this would be a shocking development for sure," reads a comment.

Michelle Obama's fans defended her decision to skip Carter's funeral and Trump's inauguration, citing personal reasons rather than speculating about her marriage.

A supporter said, "I don't believe it is true. I think it may be more likely she is dealing with a health issue. In the last few photos of her I've seen, she looks so tired."

Another chimed in, "It’s not true .. Michelle Obama just didn’t want to be around Trump is why she didn’t attend either ,,, which makes sense (as for being a democrat, they cry a lot)"
