Justin Bieber's New Album Dispels Divorce Rumors The entertainer surprised fans with new music by dropping his 7th studio album, "Swag," an emotional project that covered his love life and viral run-ins with the paparazzi.

EXCLUSIVE How Barack and Michelle Obama were 'awkward' and 'anxious' during frank discussion about divorce rumors
Barack Obama and Michelle Obama appeared to put on a united front when the former president appeared on his wife's podcast earlier today - but a body language expert has revealed that there may be more than meets the eye. Barack, 63, was a guest on the IMO podcast, which Michelle co-hosts with her brother Craig Robinson, with the couple addressing the divorce rumors that have engulfed their marriage in recent weeks. The former first lady, 61, joked that it was nice to be in the same room as her husband, sassily telling her brother: 'When we aren't, folks think we're divorced.' Michelle clapped back at the speculation, passionately saying there has not been 'one moment' in their marriage where she thought about separating. However, body language expert Judi James declared the pair's body language has changed drastically since their days in the White House as she described the interaction as 'awkward' in video footage from the podcast. 'As Barack arrives to take his seat, Michelle rubs her hands on her thighs in what looks like a self-calming ritual before placing her hands below the desk, between her legs,' Judi exclusively told the Daily Mail. 'This, along with the way her awkwardly-placed feet tend to edge under her seat, suggests a desire to self-diminish from the normally confident-looking ex FLOTUS,' she added. 'There's no real joy thrown into the room at this point to relax any tension,' the expert continued. 'Michelle's brows shoot upward and her head wobbles in a suggestion that any rumors make her sad and rather angry.' Meanwhile, Judi mused that Barack's response to learning about the rumors around their marriage - to which he said 'I don't even know this stuff's going on' - was 'odd.' According to the expert, the former first lady's body language suggests 'anxiety and inherent awkwardness.' 'When Barack and Michelle were in the White House their signature body language brand was all about mutual romance and a form of intellectual and charismatic equality,' Judi observed. She added in the past, the couple's marriage looked like the 'perfect blueprint,' with Michelle even tending to 'eclipse her husband now and again when it came to public speaking and positive, inspirational confidence.' Judi pointed out that changing the way they interact with each other - or 'lowering the idyllic bar' - would obviously incite gossip about their relationship. 'The couple appear mildly uncomfortable but determined to set the record straight here,' she observed, adding that they are putting on a 'professional display.' The expert added although the seating arrangement is determined by the studio set up which hinders any physical affection, there is no 'gracious, presidential double-act style body language' between them like there was in previous years. 'This means there is no gracious, presidential double-act style body language where they pose as a tactile couple before taking to their seats,' she revealed. 'The only person Barack reaches out to touch here is Michelle's brother.' The expert also noted the lack of 'romantic' moments for the camera. 'Michelle finishes with a formal sign-off of "Thank you Barack Obama" with no playful-looking rituals,' she concluded her observations. Instead, Judi pointed out the mom-of-two anxiously rubbed her bracelets, which could suggest the discussion on the podcast may 'have cost them both in terms of emotion to take this action to prove the doubters wrong.' Michelle made heartfelt admission about her relationship with her husband of almost 33 years during the episode, wasting no time in addressing the rumors they are headed for a divorce. 'What, you guys like each other?' Robinson joked, before Michelle replied: 'Oh yeah, the rumor mill.' 'There hasn't been one moment in our marriage where I thought about quitting my man,' she said passionately. She continued: 'And we've had some really hard times. So we 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.' The Obamas have been married for almost 33 years and share daughters, Malia, 26, and Sasha, 24. Over the past few months they have faced ongoing rumors about their marriage status, but have denied they are separating. Speculation mounted over trouble between the pair after her decision to skip both Jimmy Carter's funeral and President Donald Trump's inauguration - with Michelle insisting they were decisions she made for herself. Those absences sparked divorce rumors, which she addressed during a taping of actress Sophia Bush's podcast in April. 'That's the thing that we as women, I think we struggle with disappointing people. I mean, so much so that this year people were, you know, they couldn't even fathom that I was making a choice for myself that they had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing,' Michelle said. 'That this couldn't be a grown woman just making a set of decisions for herself, right?' she continued. 'That's what society does to us.' 'We start actually, finally going, "What am I doing? Who am I doing this for?"' the former first lady said. 'And if it doesn't fit into the sort of stereotype of what people think we should do, then it gets labeled as something negative and horrible.'

Michelle Obama says about divorce rumors: "There hasn't been one moment in our marriage where I thought about quitting my man"
Former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama brushed off recent divorce rumors on an episode of her podcast released Wednesday – and the former first lady asserted "there hasn't been one moment in our marriage where I thought about quitting my man." "Wait, you guys like each other?" Craig Robinson, Michelle Obama's older brother, asked on the latest episode of their podcast, "IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson" as the former first couple embraced. "She took me back," Barack Obama joked. "It was touch and go for a while." "It's so nice to have you both in the same room," Robinson said. Acknowledging the rumors, Michelle Obama said, "I know, because when we aren't, folks think we're divorced." Robinson spoke about how he had recently been approached by a concerned woman in an airport who asked him, "how'd he mess up?" referring to the former president. "We've had some really hard times and we've 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," Michelle Obama said. The Obamas, who have been married since 1992, had faced increased speculation about the state of their marriage in recent months, after the former commander-in-chief made several public appearances without his wife—including the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter in December and the second inauguration of President Trump in January. Michelle Obama addressed those absences with actress Taraji P. Henson on an April episode of her podcast, saying, "people couldn't believe that I was saying 'no' for any other reason, they had to assume that my marriage was falling apart." "It took everything in my power to not do the thing that was perceived as right, but do the things that was right for me, that was a hard thing for me to do," Michelle Obama said at the time. It wasn't the first time the former first lady spoke about the realities of her marriage in the years since leaving the White House. She wrote about her relationship with Barack Obama in two bestselling memoirs, "Becoming" and "The Light We Carry," and discussed it in a number of interviews, including one with Gayle King on "CBS Mornings" in 2023.. "Marriage is hard," Michelle Obama told King. "We've been married for 30 years. If I fell out with him for 10 and we had a great 20 years, I'd take those odds anytime." Wednesday marked Barack Obama's first appearance on his wife's podcast, which launched in March, about a year after Michelle Obama concluded her last podcast project, "The Light Podcast." The couple previously appeared together on her first podcast, "The Michelle Obama Podcast," in September, 2020.

Justin Bieber sends pointed message about Hailey marriage amid divorce rumors
Justin Bieber further squashed divorce rumors by cuddling up with his wife, Hailey Bieber, during a romantic getaway in Spain. Justin was seen getting cozy with the Rhode Skin founder while sitting along the shore of a gorgeous rocky Mallorcan beach in an Instagram photo he posted Wednesday. He captioned the photo with several heart-eyed emojis. The duo sat by the water while taking in a scenic marina surrounded by colorful architecture. The 'Sorry' singer wore a red bomber jacket while Hailey went with a sunny yellow and white pants set. Justin also shared a photo on his Instagram Story of himself lounging at a villa with a private pool surrounded by palm trees. On Monday, the pair was seen enjoying an intimate lunch date at the exclusive Gran Folies beach club. Photos obtained by Page Six show Justin looking relaxed and happy as he kept a low profile with his hood over his head. Hailey was seen wearing a stylish bandana while seated across the table from the pop star. Justin, 31, had a glass of white wine placed in front of him while Hailey, 28, was enjoying a bloody mary cocktail. Hailey has been posting promotional content for her skincare line from the stunning getaway where she hosted a Rhode Summer Club pop-up. Earlier this week, Justin shared loved-up photos with Hailey in front of a gorgeous sunset. They were seen landing in Mallorca on Tuesday along with their son, Jack Blues. Despite their recent PDA, breakup rumors have been surrounding the couple as concerns for the 'Peaches' artist's well-being continue to ramp up. Last month, Justin lashed out at paparazzi, telling photographers that he's a dad and just wants his privacy respected. Justin and Hailey, who tied the knot in 2018, welcomed their son last August. Fans have also been worried about Justin's erratic behavior after he flaunted his drug use on social media and wrote a cryptic message about transactional relationships. The model, however, has denied that they are heading for Splittsville, addressing the rumors head-on in an interview with Vogue in May. 'I thought seven years in it would've [died down] already, and it hasn't,' she said. 'So I guess these bitches are going to be mad.' Earlier this year, a source told Page Six that Hailey is 'really concerned' for her husband. 'Justin is going through a hard time and Hailey is doing her best to be there for him, but there's only so much she can do,' our source said at the time, adding, 'Hailey loves Justin with all her heart but that doesn't necessarily mean she's happy.' Judging by their adorable vacation snaps, they may be in a good place again.
