Michelle Obama has offered a fresh account of the harder years in her marriage to Barack Obama, saying on the 11 March episode of her podcast IMO that the couple endured 'tough times,' did 'the work' and came through it stronger after more than three decades together.
The remarks land after months of gossip about the Obamas' relationship, much of it driven by public appearances in which Barack Obama was seen without his wife. Michelle Obama addressed that speculation directly last year, insisting that private decisions about where she did and did not appear were being misread as signs of a split.
