The former President of the United States, Barack Obama, spent a good time this past Wednesday night after attending the Clippers game against the Detroit Pistons in Los Angeles. However, an important absence once again fueled rumors of a crisis: his wife, Michelle, was not with him.

Obama was seen in excellent spirits, sitting in the front row next to the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, Steve Ballmer, and his wife Connie Snyder. When the announcer mentioned at the stadium that Obama was present at the game, he stood up and greeted the audience, waving his hand towards the stands. The former president was also given a Clippers jersey with the number 44 (his number as president of USA) and his last name.

In Los Angeles, he also spent time with his daughters, Malia and Sasha, dining at a luxurious restaurant in the area. The former president arrived at the venue dressed in a semi-casual outfit, wearing dress pants with an informal jacket, while his daughters sported a coordinated look in shades of brown.
Is there a crisis between Barack and Michelle Obama?
The absence of the former First Lady at the dinner also raised alarms, because, although according to the magazine ‘Hola!’, Barack was seen wearing his wedding ring, the three were accompanied by another woman, about whom not much is known.
Michelle’s absence at Barack’s commitments is becoming increasingly noticeable, as was the case at the funeral of former president Jimmy Carter, where other former presidents were accompanied by their wives, such as Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, and the current president, Donald Trump. Additionally, Michelle declined the invitation to Trump’s inauguration ceremony.
Since last year, rumors of a crisis between the Obamas have been circulating, when it was said that Barack was having an extramarital relationship with actress Jennifer Anniston. The Friends star took it upon herself to silence those speculations: “The rumor didn’t bother me, but it is absolutely false,” she said during her visit to Jimmy Kimmel’s show. Jen assured that she has a friendship with Michelle, whom she knows better than Barack, explaining that she has only seen him in person once.
