Podcast launch follows Obama divorce speculation

Recently, Straight Arrow News investigated the swirling dating rumors involving Barack Obama and actress Jennifer Aniston. Neither Michelle nor Barack have publicly addressed the ongoing divorce speculation.
The former president attended a Los Angeles Clippers basketball game without Michelle, and social media users quickly noticed her absence. However, he was seen courtside with Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and his wife, Connie Snyder.
The night before the game, TMZ spotted the former president at dinner with his daughters, Sasha and Malia, without Michelle. Despite the rumors, Barack was still wearing his wedding band.
When does “IMO” premiere?
The first episode of “IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson” premieres Tuesday, March 11.
