Megyn Kelly Fumes Barack and Michelle Obama Should 'Get a Divorce': 'They Married the Wrong People'

MAGA podcaster Megyn Kelly publicly advised Barack and Michelle Obama to get a divorce, baselessly claiming that it is completely clear the couple no longer loves each other.

Megyn made the blunt statements on "The Megyn Kelly Show" following the former first lady's recent podcast appearances.

Megyn's core arguments and criticisms regarding the Obamas' 33-year marriage include an inane claim that Michelle is entirely about negativity and is "not capable of loving him," questioning how the former president could love what she labeled a "steaming heap of nastiness.”

Pointing out that their two daughters are now fully grown adults, Megyn stated, "Just get a divorce. Like the children are grown. Get a divorce.”

The podcaster added that Barack would face "no trouble whatsoever" finding a new partner who would genuinely love support, and look at him with "stars in her eyes.”

Reflecting on her own 17-year marriage to Douglas Brunt, Megyn noted she has never had a single bad year and concluded that the Obamas "married the wrong people.”

Her criticism was triggered by Michelle's open reflections on parenting and marriage during appearances on "The Diary of a CEO" and her own "IMO podcast."

Commentators like Megyn seized on Michelle's statements about enjoying control over her own schedule now that her daughters have moved out, as well as her previous candid admissions that there was a 10-year period early in her marriage where she "couldn't stand" her husband while balancing dual careers and raising small children.

While Michelle, who has gushed over her husband on multiple occasions, framed these struggles as normal milestones that long-term couples naturally navigate, Megyn interpreted the remarks as a public humiliation of the former president and clear evidence of an unhappy relationship.

Critics have questioned Megyn's authority to lecture the couple, noting her own past divorce from her first husband, Daniel Kendall.

Critics noted that Michelle’s remarks about a "bad decade" or about different sleeping schedules were normal, healthy descriptions of long-term partnership boundaries and of raising young children.

Some argued that a “malicious” Megyn weaponized honest relationship vulnerabilities to paint a standard picture of long-term family compromise as something toxic.

Cultural critics at outlets like The Root pointed out that Megyn has spent years repeatedly launching personal attacks against Michelle, previously labeling her "depressed," "bitter," "angry" and "narcissistic.”

Without naming Megyn directly, Michelle shut down the ongoing media rumors regarding her personal choices during an appearance on Sophia Bush’s "Work in Progress" podcast.

She explained that people "couldn't even fathom that I was making a choice for myself" regarding her independent schedule, noting that onlookers immediately assume "that my husband and I are divorcing" rather than seeing it as healthy adult autonomy.
