Barack Obama dines without Michelle AGAIN amid rumors over the state of their marriage
Former President Barack Obama enjoyed some family time with his daughters in Los Angeles, but wife Michelle was nowhere to be seen.
Barack, 63, stepped out on Friday evening with daughters Malia and Sasha for dinner at Hamasaku, a Japanese-Californian spot in West Los Angeles.
The restaurant specializes in sushi and offers main courses as expensive as $35 caviar and $38 wagyu steaks.
Hamusaku is a favorite of the former first family, with a previous visit in 2022 making headlines after Obama’s secret service detail parked in a handicap spot for hours while they dined.
Although the former president was not accompanied by Michelle, he wore his wedding ring amid rumors that their marriage is in turmoil.
It is not clear where Michelle spent her Friday evening, but the former First Lady took to Instagram on Saturday to celebrate Independent Bookstore Day with a picture of her buying some new literature.
Michelle previously brushed off divorce rumors, and earlier this month. she was also spotted out in Los Angeles with her wedding ring and diamond engagement ring on.
The couple were also seen on a romantic date night together just one week ago, where they dined at one of their favored Italian restaurants in Washington, DC.

Their evening out in DC a week ago was seen as a show of unity by some observers, and the couple were reportedly met with cheers as they entered the building.
Rumors of a rift in the Obamas’ marriage of 32 years were ignited in January when she declined to attend former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral and sent Barack alone.
The couple went several months without being seen in public together, and in that time, Michelle also skipped President Trump’s inauguration, again leaving her husband to go solo.
In an address to Hamilton College students a month ago, Barack fueled the rumor mill as he made light of the stress the presidency had on his marriage, saying he was in a ‘deep deficit with my wife.’
