Michelle Obama Spotted On ‘Girls Vacation’ Without Her Husband
Michelle Obama was once again spotted without her husband this week, continuing a pattern that has only fueled public speculation about their relationship.
The former First Lady, 61, is vacationing in Mallorca with daughters Malia and Sasha. The trio was photographed dining at the Lobster Club in Puerto Portals, Calvià, earlier this week, but former President Barack Obama was noticeably absent, as he has been at many of her recent outings, The New York Post reported.

Michelle looked stylish in a colorful printed dress and hoop earrings, while Sasha, 24, wore an off-the-shoulder white t-shirt and a flowy brown skirt. Malia, 26, chose a navy blue polka dot top and denim mini skirt for the family lunch.
Joining them were James Costos, former U.S. ambassador to Spain, and his partner Michael Smith, the Obamas’ longtime interior designer who famously redesigned the Oval Office in 2010.
The relaxed, glamorous lunch took place at an exclusive seaside venue complete with live music, an infinity pool, and sweeping Mediterranean views.

Barack was once again missing from the family getaway, just as he has been absent from several other major public events in recent months, including President Jimmy Carter’s funeral and even President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Michelle tried to downplay growing rumors of marital trouble last month during an appearance on “The Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett.”
“That’s not who we are,” she insisted. “And I know that about him. He knows that about me.” She also stressed that the couple, married for 32 years, would never “quit” on their marriage.

For Father’s Day, Michelle posted a throwback photo on Instagram showing a younger Sasha on her lap, with Malia sitting on Barack’s lap.
“[Barack] has always been there for us no matter what — even when it felt like the weight of the world was on his shoulders,” she wrote.
Meanwhile, Barack marked Sasha’s 24th birthday earlier this month with a short Instagram tribute and family photo.

“Watching you grow into the incredible woman you are has been a true gift,” he wrote. “I’ll always be proud of you and will always be here for you.”
Last month, Michelle Obama made a casual remark about being single during a recent episode of her podcast, fueling ongoing speculation about possible strain in her marriage to former President Barack Obama.
Michelle was joined by her brother, Craig Robinson, and Airbnb co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky on the latest episode of her show, IMO [In My Opinion], when she appeared to express a hint of personal interest in the tech executive.
“You know, I have to say, Brian, if I’m a single girl out there and I find out that Brian Chesky is single and I could like stay in his house -” she began before Robinson cut in.

“Here she goes, right to the relationship!” Robinson said, adding: “Brian, you don’t have to feel pressure.”
Chesky, however, played right along, noting, “Her and her husband have tried to set me up before.”
That led the former first lady to say she was “very invested in Brian’s love life,” to which he said he “appreciated.”
The unusual exchange comes amid persistent speculation about the state of Michelle and Barack Obama’s marriage—fueled in part by the former First Lady’s notable absences from both President Donald Trump’s inauguration and the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter.

Adding to the chatter, Barack Obama recently acknowledged that he is in a “deep deficit with my wife” and has been working to plan enjoyable activities for the two of them. Michelle, for her part, has publicly voiced frustrations with her husband, citing his past habit of being late and his tendency to avoid meaningful conversations with his golf buddies, DailyMail.com reported.
