Michelle Obama and Barack Obama continue to face rumors involving their marriage. Following the former First Couple's respective admissions about the truth behind their challenges inside the White House, several tabloids and magazines seemingly took these things out of context to fabricate stories about them.
Gossip Cop recently covered one of the allegations from Globe, wherein the Obama couple's marriage is facing its final straw due to the reported "ego-fueled" battle over their memoirs. Supposed sources stated that the former U.S. President is "mean" toward his wife considering that his book "outsold" Michelle's when comparing the first week sales.
Barack was, reportedly, "rubbing it in," and that the former First Lady demanded "more respect." Unnamed insiders, then, said that the former U.S. leader's "boasts" show how "rocky" their marriage has become.
Gossip Cop dismissed the claims, adding that Barack and Michelle Obama would not end their marriage over book sales. As noted, the couple has faced much bigger challenges throughout their 28 years of marriage.
The reputed publication continued that the former First Couple has continued to support each other all these years. The former First Lady even paid tribute and celebrated her husband on social media when he dropped his latest memoir, A Promised Land.
Michelle pointed out in her Instagram post that she could no longer wait for Barack to experience what she did upon releasing Becoming in 2018. She, also, added that she was excited for the public to read her husband's work.
In the end, Gossip Cop concluded that the tabloid's latest narrative about Barack and Michelle Obama's marriage is nothing but a "totally false" story. Moreover, this is not the first time that Globe concocted a bogus headline about the couple.
Reports, however, noted that Barack Obama's memoir, A Promised Land, indeed, outsold Michelle Obama's Becoming. During its first day, it sold over 887,000 copies, including the pre-orders, across all formats, according to USA Today. Meanwhile, the former First Lady's material sold over 725,000 copies.
The same dynamic continues for first-week sales. Barack's book had over 1.7 million sales, which has become Penguin Random House's largest week-one sales total for any of their published works, according to Deadline. This is 300,000 more in comparison to his wife's 1.4 million sales in the first week back in 2018.
A Promised Land, which officially dropped earlier in November, details Barack Obama's first-term inside the White House. Apart from his official experiences, he, also, shared some of his struggles and challenges, particularly with his marriage to Michelle Obama.
