Former and future first lady Melania Trump has criticized Barack and Michelle Obama for making her and Donald 's first move into the White House "challenging," accusing the former first couple of "withholding" information that would have smoothed the transition between administrations.

Reports suggest Barack and Michelle Obama are now "just friends" after 30 years of marriage, with rumours of an affair with Jennifer Aniston adding strain.

Barack Obama made history when he was sworn in as the first Black president of the United States. Alongside his wife and former First Lady, Michelle, his inauguration signified hope for Black America.

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.

President-elect Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration weekend is here, and while many familiar faces are confirmed to attend his Jan. 20 ceremony, one notable name is missing from the guest list: Michelle Obama .

With neither president revealing what the pair spoke about, speculation has mounted about the details of their conversation.

“Happy birthday to the love of my life, @MichelleObama,” Barack, 63, wrote via X on Friday, January 17. “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 Obama won’t be in attendance when Donald Trump is inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States. In a statement released to the AP, the Obamas clarify that while the former First Lady won’t be present, her husband, 44th US President Barack Obama, will be there to represent the family.

The financial floodgates have opened for Donald Trump's second inauguration. How much does it cost to get a front-row seat?

Donald Trump will be sworn in for a second term as president Monday—with every living former president, billionaires like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, Carrie Underwood, the Village People and several foreign leaders getting invitations.
