This is among the few times the couple has been spotted together since their divorce rumours started floating on social media.

The couple shut down the speculations in an earlier episode of IMO, a podcast hosted by Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson.

"There hasn't been one moment in our marriage where I've thought about quitting on my man. And we've had some really hard times and 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," Michelle said to address rumours about their separation.

"She took me back!" Barack Obama said, laughing and adding, "It was touch and go for a while."
