The former president also shared a sweet photo of the couple holding hands at what appeared to be her birthday celebration dinner at Aubergine Carmel.

Barack and Michelle Obama's marriage has been the subject of much speculation in recent weeks, with rumours swirling that the couple are on the brink of a divorce

Amid rumors about their marriage, Barack Obama celebrated Michelle’s 61st birthday with a loving Instagram tribute. Speculation about their relationship persists, fueled by Michelle’s absence from recent events and her retreat to Martha's Vineyard.

Barack Obama has dispelled rumours of a split from his wife, Michelle, by posting a gushing social media post to celebrate her birthday.

Despite speculation caused by Barack’s recent solo appearances and Michelle’s inauguration absence, Barack and Michelle are not headed for a divorce, as the former President made clear in a Jan. 17 tribute to his wife for her birthday.

Speculation about a potential divorce between former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, has been swirling online.

"You fill every room with warmth." Barack Obama is making sure his wife, Michelle, is feeling all the love on her 61st birthday. Ever the doting, charming husband, he took to Instagram to gush over his sweetheart in a swoon-worthy tribute.

Mrs Obama’s convention speech, which saw her abandon the Obama mantra “when they go low, we go high,” was interpreted as a major victory for Ms Harris’s presidential campaign. In the room, the reception from the crowd was even greater than for her husband.

Alongside a picture of himself and his wife holding hands across the table (my heart!), the former president wrote, "Happy birthday to the love of my life, @MichelleObama. You fill every room with warmth, wisdom, humor, and grace – and you look good doing it."
