Michelle Obama Admits She’s ‘Transitioning’ to ‘Next Phase’ of Her Life Amidst Rumors She’s Divorcing Barack
SHARE

Former First Lady Michelle Obama is speaking candidly about her personal growth and emotional wellbeing as she embraces what she calls the “next phase” of her life. Her recent remarks have reignited persistent rumors that she and former President Barack Obama may be headed toward divorce.

While the couple has long been viewed as one of the most admired partnerships in American public life, whispers of marital strain have circulated for months.

These rumors have gained momentum following Michelle’s admission that she is undergoing therapy to help her navigate a new chapter as an empty nester and woman in her sixties.

“At this phase of my life, I’m in therapy right now because I’m transitioning, you know?” Michelle, 61, said during an appearance on the Jay Shetty Podcast.

“I’m 60 years old, I finished a really hard thing in life with my family intact. I’m an empty nester. You know my girls are in — they’ve been launched. And now for the first time, as I’ve said before, every choice I’m making is completely mine.”

Michelle’s words suggest a deeply personal shift — one that reflects the complexity of identity after decades of public service, family dedication, and national scrutiny.

With her daughters Malia and Sasha now living independently, and the pressures of the White House long behind her, she says she is for the first time reflecting solely on her own needs.

“I now don’t have the excuse of, ‘Well my kids need this,’ or ‘my husband needs that’ or ‘the country needs that,’” she added.

“So how do I think about this next phase, and let me get some help.”

Her openness about seeking therapy marks a continuation of her long-standing advocacy for mental health and emotional self-care. The former First Lady has often emphasized the importance of breaking stigmas around therapy, especially within the Black community.

“Let me unwind some old habits,” she explained.

“Let me sort through some old guilt that I’ve been carrying around…let me talk about how my relationship with my mother has affected how I think about things.”

“So, I’m getting that tune-up for this next phase because I believe this is a whole other phase in life for me,” Michelle continued.

“And I now have the wisdom to know— let me go get some coaching while I’m doing it so that I have other voices other than the people who know me best. I’ve got a new person that’s getting to know me, and seeing me completely new and hearing all these emotions.”

Despite her consistent efforts to promote self-reflection and mental health, her recent comments have been interpreted by some as hints of a deeper personal crisis — particularly when viewed through the lens of persistent rumors about a rift between her and Barack.

Speculation about a possible split escalated earlier this year when Michelle was notably absent from major public events.

She did not attend the funeral of former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, nor did she accompany Barack to President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

She was the only living former First Lady to miss both events, prompting questions from political insiders and media figures alike.

Among those addressing the speculation was political commentator Meghan McCain, who discussed the rumors on reporter Tara Palmeri’s podcast.

“I have been hearing this rumor that the Obamas are getting a divorce by reputable people,” McCain said.

“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.

Palmeri, a veteran political reporter, echoed that sentiment.

“We’ve heard that for a long time,” she responded. “Like I just heard that they live separate lives.”

Though Michelle has tried to publicly dismiss these claims, her latest remarks — especially those emphasizing her independence and emotional introspection — may only amplify them.

The former First Lady has not directly addressed the speculation but continues to emphasize the need for personal growth, even after decades of shared public life with her husband.

Whether her comments signal a personal reinvention within the bounds of a stable marriage or a quiet preparation for a life apart, remains unclear. What is certain, however, is that Michelle Obama remains committed to doing the emotional work needed for her own well-being.

As she puts it, “every choice I’m making is completely mine” — a sentiment that may resonate with countless women navigating midlife transitions, regardless of public scrutiny.

Only time will tell how this chapter unfolds for the Obamas, but Michelle’s openness is yet another reminder of the grace, strength, and vulnerability she has long brought to the public eye.
