Something isn’t right about this and the mainstream media isn’t reporting on it.

Former President Barack Obama made a solo appearance at a Los Angeles Clippers game this week, but his outing sparked more than just attention for the game itself. Sitting courtside with Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and his wife, Connie Snyder, Obama was spotted without his wife, Michelle. The 44th president seemed to enjoy himself as the Clippers defeated the Detroit Pistons 123-115, but the absence of Michelle raised some eyebrows.

As Obama’s presence was announced at the newly opened Intuit Dome, the crowd erupted in applause, giving him a standing ovation. Despite his obvious enjoyment of the game, the sight of him attending the event alone added fuel to ongoing speculation about his marriage.

This wasn’t the first time Barack had made a public appearance without Michelle. In January, he attended President Trump’s second inauguration without her, a clear signal of their differing views on the event. Michelle, who has been vocal about her criticism of Trump, decided to skip the inauguration altogether.

Additionally, when President Jimmy Carter’s funeral took place at the Washington National Cathedral, Michelle opted out of attending, reportedly staying behind in Hawaii for an extended vacation. And just the night before his Clippers appearance, Barack dined at a fancy restaurant in Sherman Oaks with their daughters, Malia and Sasha — but once again, Michelle was nowhere to be seen.

Despite these frequent solo appearances, the couple’s relationship appears strong. On Valentine’s Day, both Barack and Michelle shared heartfelt messages to one another on social media, reinforcing their enduring bond. Barack posted a selfie of the couple with the caption, “Thirty-two years spent side by side and you still take my breath away,” while Michelle shared a sweet message saying, “If there is 1 person I can count on, it is you, @BarackObama. You are my rock. Always have been and always will be.”

Even in the face of rumors and speculation, it’s clear that the Obamas continue to be a strong pair, even when they’re not always in the same place.
