Over the past year rumors have been swirling that Barack and Michelle Obama are heading for divorce. According to these rumors, Barack and Michelle have been living “separate lives” for quite some time.
Now, Michelle is revealing that she recently got ten piercings “in one sitting” as these divorce rumors continue to spread.
Michelle Gets Ten Piercings
On the latest episode of her IMO podcast, which she hosts with her older brother Craig Robinson, Michelle dropped the bomb that she recently got 10 new ear piercings “in one sitting.”
At the start of the episode, Craig, 63, said, “What I’ve learned is that you tried to get your ears pierced and thought I didn’t notice. And I see you got all these new piercings in your ear.”
“I don’t think you noticed,” fired back Michelle, 62.
“I have always thought about getting some extra piercings in my ear and just never got around to it,” Michelle continued. She then said that she “had a second [piercing] hole that I had got before I had kids. But then I just got lazy and stopped putting an earring in it.”
“But nowadays, the young people in my life are doing more piercings. There’s just more beautiful adornment,” she added as she showed off one of her piercings. “You see more of a cluster, a constellation, with twinkles.”
When asked how many piercings she has, Michelle replied, “I was going in for a few.”
Michelle went on to admit that as she sat there, she told the piercer, “‘Oh, put one there and put one [there]. Oh yeah, let’s try one there.’”
“So in one sitting, I’ve got 10 piercings.”
Craig responded by joking, “Ouch.” Michelle, however, reassured him, “[It] wasn’t bad at all.”
Barack Doesn’t Notice Piercings For Days
“If I didn’t like it, you know, I would say,” Craig replied. Michelle agreed, saying, “I know. Barack, [it] took him a couple of days.”
“He was like, ‘You haven’t had your hair up, you’ve had your hair down,'” she recalled. “And I was like, ‘I don’t know. I like sleep with you every night, dude, you know?’ ”
Michelle concluded by revealing that it took Barack three full days just to notice her piercings.
“Don’t tell him that I noticed before him,” Craig replied. Michelle hit back by saying, “I think I did.”

Obama Divorce Rumors
This comes at a difficult time for the entire Obama family. Indeed, over the past year, they’ve been plagued by rampant rumors that Michelle and Barack are divorcing.
These divorce rumors escalated in a big way back in January of last year, when Michelle skipped both the funeral of Jimmy Carter and the inauguration of Donald Trump. She was the only living former First Lady to miss each of these events. This forced Barack to attend both events alone.
“I have been hearing this rumor that the Obamas are getting a divorce by reputable people,” political commentator Meghan McCain said on reporter Tara Palmeri’s podcast earlier this year. “I’m not talking about TMZ, I’m not talking about Perez Hilton, although I love him, he’s my friend.”
“I’m talking about like very serious journalists telling me that they’re hearing that the Obama divorce rumors are true,” she continued.
“We’ve heard that for a long time,” replied Tara, who has long covered Washington politics. “Like I just heard that they live separate lives.”

Michelle Accused Of ‘Really Disliking’ Barack
Michelle launched her IMO podcast back in March of last year. Since then, Michelle has used it to bash Barack and air his dirty laundry seemingly every chance she gets.
In fact, Michelle has complained about Barack so many times on her podcast that the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has claimed that the former First Lady “really dislikes her husband, and it’s super obvious.”
“I’m not just saying that to be catty,” Tucker explained. “I think I’m trying to feel compassion for her but her hostility toward the guy is unbelievable.”
Tucker’s fellow former Fox News host Megyn Kelly was quick to agree. She pointed out that “everything Michelle says about her husband is negative.”
“I almost never say negative things about Doug,” Megyn added, referring to her own husband Doug Brunt. “He’s not perfect but when I think about him, I don’t immediately go to whatever is negative. I go to what’s positive and what I love about him.”

The Obamas Respond
Back in July, Barack appeared on Michelle’s IMO podcast. There, they desperately tried to shoot down the escalating divorce rumors.
“There hasn’t been one moment in our marriage where I thought about quitting my man,” Michelle claimed. “And we’ve had some really hard times. So we had a lot of fun times, a lot of adventures, and I have become a better person because of the man I’m married to.”
“These are the kinds of things that I just miss, right?” Barack chimed in to add. “So I don’t even know this stuff’s going on. And then somebody will mention it to me and I’m all like, ‘what are you talking about?'”
Unfortunately for the Obamas, however, many are still not buying their claims that their marriage is still going strong.
Michelle’s latest comments about Barack taking three days to notice her ten new piercings will certainly do nothing to help her case that all is well in her marriage. Only time will tell if the Obama marriage will survive 2026!
