Michelle Obama and Barack Obama are, allegedly, back in therapy to save their marriage.

Last year, Globe published a dubious story about the former first couple and the state of their marriage. The tabloid claimed that Michelle is upset with her husband’s devotion to politics and his career while putting their family in the backburner.

When Barack is not busy with his work, he allegedly spends most of his time playing golf with his friends instead of hanging out with his family.

And instead of supporting Michelle’s memoir, Becoming Barack is allegedly threatening to write his own memoir. In fact, the former president allegedly wants to reveal that Michelle didn’t write her memoir. Rather, it was a ghostwriter that wrote it for her.

The former first couple’s children, Malia and Sasha have allegedly been acting out as well. Their eldest daughter was photographed smoking what looked like marijuana during a rock festival in Chicago.

Months later, Malia was photographed dancing and twerking at a nightclub in Washington. During both instances, Barack was allegedly not present to support his daughter’s struggles.

“But this is the kind of thing Michelle believes Barack should have been more present for. It could just be the thing to send them back to counseling – or divorce court!” an unnamed source said.

“Counseling helped then but the same old problems seem to have cropped up again. Whether seeing a therapist will help stave off a divorce is anyone’s guess,” the source added.

However, one should take the claims made by the tabloid with a grain of salt. Despite his busy schedule as the former president, Barack was still involved in his daughters’ and his wife's lives. In fact, the Obamas are a very close-knit family.

While it is true that Michelle and Barack went to therapy years ago, they never said anything about going back to therapy recently. The couple’s relationship is doing just fine.

And when it comes to Michelle’s memoir, Barack has been nothing but supportive. In fact, he even made a surprise appearance while his wife was promoting her book.

Barack isn’t trying to compete with Michelle’s highly-successful memoir. And he isn’t trying to expose the former first lady as a fraud because she isn’t.

Michelle and Barack have been married for 28 years. They have been each other’s rocks through a miscarriage, IVF, and more.
