Over the past few months, rumors have been swirling that Barack and Michelle Obama are heading for divorce. These claims allege that Barack and Michelle have been living “separate lives” for quite some time.
Last week, we reported that Barack and Michelle were spotted in public together for the first time in six months. Indeed, they seemed intent on being seen out on a date night at the ritzy Lowell Hotel in New York City last Tuesday.
Unfortunately for them, however, this has since backfired on them in a big way. A body language expert is now weighing in to say that images from this date night indicate that there is “no love lost” between Barack and Michelle.
Body Language Expert Sounds Off
Photos from the date night show Michelle, 61, and Barack, 63, leaving the Lowell Hotel and stepping into a vehicle as they are guarded by their Secret Service detail. The Human Behavior Lab President Susan Constantine pointed out that the former president and first lady exhibited very different expressions and body language as they did this.
“Definitely a completely different [public] appearance than we’ve seen in the past,” Constantine told Fox News.
Constantine has been analyzing the Obamas’ body language and mannerisms for many years. After seeing these latest images, she couldn’t help but become extremely concerned about the state of their relationship.
“When I’m looking at the photos, the distance between the two; with the two Secret Servicemen in between them [it] is showing that there’s literally a separation,” she explained. “Almost like the two [USSS officers] inside are drawing a line between President and Mrs. Obama.”
“She’s out front-and-center and very joyful; very empowered; a real pep in her step,” Constantine continued. “She’s feeling quite confident in wherever she is at in her headspace, but you wouldn’t even think the two of them are together.”

‘It’s Sad To See’
Constantine went on to say that in contrast, Barack looked both distraught and distant. She even went so far as to say that he looked more like another Secret Service agent than a husband.
“You can see the stress in his face,” she lamented.
Based on what she saw in these date night photos, Constantine can’t help but think that there may be some truth to the Obama divorce rumors after all.
“There is definitely something emotional – something internal between the two of them that is going on,” Constantine stated. “He’s a shadow in her path.”
“It’s sad to see that – she is putting him through the ringer – there is certainly something serious going on in their relationship,” the body language expert concluded. “I can say that with professional certainty.”
Obama Divorce Rumors
The Obama divorce rumors have been spreading for quite some time. They 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.
“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 back in January. “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 added.
“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 her brother Craig Robinson, 64, back in March. Since then, many have noticed that she’s frequently used episodes to complain about both Barack and the time they spent in the White House together.
The former Fox News host Tucker Carlson recently reacted to this by claiming that Michelle “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 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.”
Watch Tucker and Megyn talk more about this in the video below.
Barack has never publicly addressed these divorce rumors. While Michelle has tried to shoot them down multiple times, many aren’t buying it, given her continued penchant for bashing her husband on her podcast.
Now that even body language experts are sounding the alarm about the state of the Obamas’ marriage, it’s certainly not looking good for them. Only time will tell if the Obama marriage is actually able to stand the test of time!
