Michelle Obama shared a heartfelt message for her husband, former President Barack Obama, on his birthday. The former first lady posted a photo of the couple on Instagram, accompanied by a touching note. "Happy birthday to my love, my best friend, my everything!" she wrote. She added, "@BarackObama, even after all these years, you're still the coolest guy I know. 💕"

Barack Obama responded in the comments, saying, "Love you, Miche! And thanks everybody for all the birthday wishes."

This affectionate message comes months after Michelle Obama addressed rumors about her marriage. In April, during a conversation with actress Sophia Bush on the "Work in Progress" podcast, she spoke about speculation regarding their relationship. The rumors intensified after Barack Obama attended several events alone earlier this year.

In July, both Michelle and Barack Obama dismissed the divorce rumors during an episode of her podcast, "IMO," which she co-hosts with her brother. "There hasn't been one moment in our marriage where I thought about quittin' my man. And we've had some really hard times," Michelle Obama stated. She emphasized the joy and growth she has experienced in their marriage, saying, "We have had a lot of fun times, a lot of adventures, and I have become a better person because of the man I'm married to."

Barack and Michelle Obama were married in Chicago in 1992. Their enduring relationship continues to capture public interest.
