Former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, continue to fuel rumors that the two are potentially headed for a divorce.
The rumors have heated up in the wake of the former first lady skipping out on several high-profile events that her husband attended alone, including President Donald Trump's inauguration and the late President Jimmy Carter's funeral.
While nothing has been confirmed, many in the business believe that the two are purposely not hanging out in public together, and some are already trying to buy the details of what's going on behind the scenes.
Barack and Michelle Obama have been married since 1992.
The number of people who believe the couple are headed for splitsville is numerous, and sources have reported that journalists and outlets are lining up to pay the Obamas big bucks to land the first post-split interview, if that's where they're headed.
One insider reportedly believes that each of the Obamas could land $10 million+ for an exclusive, post-divorce interview.
"There is going to be a real rush to bag their signatures for interviews and the figures are going to be at least $10 million and that’s each,” an insider reportedly said.
They added, "Obama recently picked up $ 1.2 million for three speeches on Wall Street, so $ 10 million to talk about his marriage and how that was conducted within the pressure cooker of the White House doesn’t seem such bad value. And Michelle will also be offered a similar amount."
The Hollywood Insider noted:
The informant went on to reveal that the interviews would likely be one of the biggest media events ever. This is because Barack and Michelle would be the first-ever former First couple to split after leaving the White House. In addition, they represent many things to the American people, many of whom have strong feelings about the Obama family.
The insider explained that major media networks are scrambling to land the interview, should the two actually split
"The interviews would be dynamite as they are the first couple to split up after being president and first lady," the insider reportedly said.
"That is a pretty big deal. The stakes are high on this one and the networks are scrambling to make sure they are not the ones who miss out on landing the Obamas."
It'll be interesting to see if they actually split and, if so, which one of them will take the money first.
