Former President Barack Obama took a moment to celebrate his wife and prove his love for Michelle Obama on Mother’s Day, which happened to fall on the 11th of May, 2025 (Sunday). Popular figure Barack took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a sweet tribute, posting a picture of Michelle with their daughters, Malia and Sasha.
“Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms and mother-figures! @MichelleObama, the girls and I are so lucky to have you in our lives. We love you,” he wrote.

As per AOL, Barack and Michelle Obama, who wed in 1992, share two daughters and have continued to present a united front amid public speculation. Moreover, Michelle Obama has shut down all the separation speculation in a candid conversation on Sophia Bush’s podcast ‘Work in Progress.’
She further opened up for the first time about choosing not to attend certain high-profile events. “The idea that I could simply be making decisions for myself, without it signaling trouble in my marriage, was hard for some people to grasp,” she said.
Earlier this month, Michelle also appeared on The Diary of a CEO podcast, where she firmly denied any possibility of a split from her husband of over 30 years. “That’s just not who we are,” she said. “I know that about him. And he knows that about me.”
Michelle Obama, who is known for her bold and outspoken personality, has always advocated for establishing a healthy America, and she continues to stand up vigorously for women’s rights on social media platforms. The mother of two, who started her podcast called IMO with her brother, Craig Robinson, a basketball coach and media personality.

Michelle said. “He would know it,” she continued, pointing to her brother. “And everybody would know it. I’m not a martyr. I would be problem-solving in public. ‘Let me tell you what he did.'”

Meanwhile, Barack Obama and his better half possess a net worth of $70 million.
