Over the past few months, 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, new reports are coming in alleging that Michelle and her Secret Service detail just saved an injured tennis player on Martha’s Vineyard. This comes as the Obama divorce rumors continue to escalate.
Michelle To The Rescue
Michelle, 61, was reportedly recently at a Martha’s Vineyard tennis club when she witnessed a male player tear his hamstring. Two men, one of whom was the New York City restauranteur and hospitality whiz David Rabin, were playing on a court next to Michelle when the disturbing incident unfolded.
“The other guy goes to chase a lob over his head,” an insider told Page Six of the incident. “It’s like he’s showing off for Michelle Obama and he trips! He’s lying on the ground… and she’s looking, and David Rabin is looking, and then they both realized he was actually hurt.”
Wasting no time, Michelle immediately sprung into action.
“Obama looks at her security guys, like, ‘Go look at him,’” the source recounted. “Suddenly six guys show up on the court. One of them checks on [the injured man], asks, ‘Can you move?,’ and gets him ice packs.”
One Secret Service agent pulled out a first aid kit while another called for an ambulance. Michelle herself helped to tend to the player, even posing for a photo with him while they waited for medics to arrive.
When Rabin was contacted for a comment, he replied, “Michelle Obama was on the next court and we were giving her her space. But when my brother-in-law fell, she immediately sent her Secret Service team into action. They were amazing and so was she. She came right over and said hi to all of us and suggested a picture”
Rabin went on to say that Michelle “saved the day.” He added that she “could not have been friendlier or cooler.”
“She introduced herself as Michelle,” he gushed. “She’s as delightful as I imagined she’d be.
Michelle reportedly gave Rabin and the injured player one tip before they parted ways.
“She kept telling us we’re all at an age we need to be stretching,” Rabin sheepishly recalled.
Obama Divorce Rumors
This comes at a difficult time for Michelle and her husband. Indeed, over the past few months, the Obamas have been plagued by rampant divorce rumors for months. These divorce rumors escalated in a big way back in January, 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 with Craig back in March. Since then, Michelle has used it to bash Barack, 64, 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 recently 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 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.”

Obamas Respond
Last month, 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.
Here’s hoping that Michelle’s latest escapades on Martha’s Vineyard helped to distract her from whatever might be going on in her marriage. Only time will tell if Michelle and Barack actually stay together!
