Michelle Obama is addressing speculation about marital discord with former President Obama, saying the public isn’t going to know what the couple is doing “every minute of the day.”

“Even in this phase in our lives, when Barack and I say something, right or wrong, it does get covered,” the former first lady told Rachel Martin in an interview on NPR’s “Wild Card,” released Thursday.

“The fact that people don’t see me going out on a date with my husband sparks rumors of the end of our marriage,” Obama said of tabloid reports of trouble in the relationship between the former first couple, who tied the knot in 1992. 

“It’s the apocalypse,” Martin quipped with a laugh in response.

“It’s the apocalypse,” Obama echoed.

“So we don’t Instagram every minute of our lives we are 60,” the “Becoming” author and host of the “IMO” podcast said. “You just are not going to know what we’re doing every minute of the day, you know?”

“And yes, I guess we’re famous, but we’re 60,” Obama repeated with a grin. “We don’t take selfies.”

It’s not the first time that Obama has weighed in on chatter about her more than 30-year marital union with the ex-commander in chief, which picked up steam following her absence at President Trump’s inauguration in January.

During an interview last month, she said with a laugh, “If I were having problems with my husband, everybody would know about it.”
