Barack Obama and Michelle Obama wrapped up the summer season with a sun-filled weekend on Steven Spielberg’s $250 million superyacht in Italy.
The former first lady was photographed arriving at the filmmaker’s vessel off the coast of Portofino hours ahead of the retired politician on Friday.
Spielberg warmly greeted her with a massive embrace.
The mom of two sported a Canadian tuxedo, accessorizing with a black backpack, sunglasses and platform sandals for the outing.
Barack, 64, was later spotted joining Michelle, 61, while escorted by his security.
He wore a brown shirt, white pants and white hat.
On Sunday, the couple was seen lounging around the yacht and enjoying a sit-down conversation with Spielberg, 78.
The pair put on a united front after shutting down split rumors on Michelle and her brother Craig Robinson’s podcast, “IMO,” in July.
Leading up to the special episode, Michelle teased that a “very, very, very special guest” would be appearing on the podcast.
“Wait, you guys like each other?” Robinson joked during the episode.
“She took me back!” Obama jokingly responded, adding, “It was touch and go for a while.”
Michelle chimed in, saying it was “nice to [be] in the same room” as the retired politician.
“When we aren’t, folks think we’re divorced,” she continued.
Michelle clarified that “there hasn’t been one moment in [their] marriage where [she has] thought about quitting [her] man.”
“We’ve had some really hard times and we’ve had a lot of fun times, a lot of adventures and I’ve become a better person because of the man I’m married to,” she explained.
The duo have been married since 1992 and share two daughters: Malia, 27, and Sasha, 24.
Michelle and Barack were at the forefront of divorce rumors when the latter made solo appearances at former president Jimmy Carter’s funeral services and President Trump’s second term inauguration in January.
The health advocate has shut down the allegations on several occasions, including in April when she shared on the “Work in Progress” podcast that she made the decision to step out of the limelight and say “no” to more events.
Michelle and Barack have also brushed off the rumors by sharing sweet tributes for each other via social media for special occasions.
