"She took me back!" Barack Obama quipped during his appearance, joking, "It was touch and go for a while." 

Speculation had mounted for months that the presidential couple was headed to divorce, which heightened in January when the former first lady did not attend high-profile events such as President Donald Trump's inauguration or President Jimmy Carter's funeral.

"There hasn't been one moment in our marriage where I've thought about quitting my man," Michelle Obama said during an "IMO" podcast in July. "We've had some really hard times. 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."

"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," Obama continued.
