In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Obama wrote, “You fill every room with warmth, wisdom, humor, and grace, and you look good doing it. I’m so lucky to be able to take on life’s adventures with you. Love you!” Michelle responded by sharing the post, adding, “Love you, honey!” alongside heart and kiss emojis.

The couple’s public display of affection comes amid swirling but unconfirmed rumors about their marriage.

Speculation began late last year, alleging a strained relationship and connections between Barack Obama and actress Jennifer Aniston.

Aniston denied the rumors during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, calling them “absolutely untrue” and noting her friendship with Michelle.

Michelle Obama, who has kept a relatively low public profile in recent weeks, has chosen not to attend President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday.

Sources close to her cited “disdain for the Republican president-elect” as the reason for her absence.

She was also notably absent from former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral last week.

Despite her absence, Barack Obama is expected to attend the inauguration alongside former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and their respective spouses.

The Obamas have long been admired for their strong partnership, and Barack’s birthday tribute serves as a public reaffirmation of their bond.
