The main evidence, outside of the unverified and anonymous sources quoted by the tabloid, are two photos featuring Michelle Obama without her wedding ring and another of Barack Obama not wearing his.
Seriously, that’s the only proof the outlet provided of these bombshell claims of infidelity and infighting plaguing one of the most famous couples in the world. At the time, Gossip Cop pointed out that the likeliest reason Michelle wasn’t wearing a wedding ring in the photo indicated by the Globe was because she was working out, and it’s incredibly common for people to remove jewelry, especially sentimental jewelry like wedding rings, during a workout.
As for Barack’s missing ring, he often removes his ring before speaking engagements and meet-and-greets, like the one he was headed to in the photo, to keep it safe. One year after the story was published, it’s even more clear that it was total nonsense from the very start. Barack and Michelle Obama continue to be happily married, despite this tabloid’s efforts to incite drama where there’s obviously none.
We could find absolutely no evidence to support this bizarre claim and determined it was false. This was also not the first time the Globe claimed Barack and Michelle were headed for a divorce. The outlet once again pushed the narrative that because the two had been seen not wearing their wedding rings, they were not getting along. That report was also false, as are most stories out of this shady gossip rag. – gossipcop
