Michelle Obama says she’s begun therapy as ‘tuneup for next phase’

In April 2025, Michelle Obama shared that she is currently undergoing therapy as she navigates a significant transition in her life.
This transition follows her status as a 60-year-old empty nester and her departure from public service, which has left her making choices independently.
During interviews, including the Jay Shetty Podcast and a conversation with Steven Bartlett, she addressed rumors of marital problems and emphasized her commitment to her marriage with Barack Obama since 1992.
She shared that she is currently undergoing therapy as part of a personal transition in her life and clarified that if there were any issues in her marriage, they would be public knowledge.
Her openness about therapy sparked divorce speculation, yet she dismissed those claims, underlining her resolved family life and the personal growth associated with this new period.
