Obama spotted alone
A fan spotted Michelle Obama walking alone, probably coming back from picking up her mail at the end of her several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of January 8, 2026. Was she all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “She was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”
Is Michelle back on the market?
A rep for Michelle Obama was not immediately available for comment.
Truth or rumor, when news that the lawyer was splitting hit the internet Friday (January 9), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:
“Has anyone Michelle’s phone number?”

“Hate to see Obama split up, but I thought the pairing was a little weird.”

Based on the facts (Obama spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?
