Barack Obama has been focusing on his marriage to Michelle Obama since leaving the White House in 2017.

“I was digging myself out of the hole I found myself [in] with Michelle,” he told the crowd during a recent appearance in London, according to the Daily Mail. “Now I’m at about level ground.”

Barack, 64, did not offer any more details about the state of his marriage. However, earlier this year, Barack said that he and Michelle, 61, were in “a deep deficit” after his presidency.

Fans wondered whether there was trouble in paradise for the couple when Michelle did not attend President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January alongside her husband. (She also skipped out on attending President Jimmy Carter‘s funeral that same month.)
