The White House is a magnetic place for people’s eyes worldwide. Even Americans are highly interested to know what happens behind the white walls. Often, the curiosity wave for presidents’ lives is so high that users create AI images and other photoshopped illustrations. Among different examples are the pictures of Michelle Obama pregnant. It’s a sought-after topic with lots of results floating around the internet that seem to be fake. But why her?

Michelle Obama was the First Lady (known as a superwoman) who openly revealed the truth behind the curtains of a presidential marriage in the White House. Nevertheless, the genuine, open couple knew how to be private about their family lives, and captures of Michelle Obama’s pregnancy were and still are strictly confidential.

“Becoming” by Michelle Obama was one of the most inspiring books. It was a personal reckoning of the woman who established herself as a strong advocate for women’s rights while shaping the perception of a more inclusive White House. Her vibrant energy, strength, and commitment to pairing political diplomacy with a wholesome family impressed people all over the world. 

Now, let’s turn the pages of time for the Obama couple. These 65 close-knit pictures of Barack and Michelle Obama show their love story and the challenges they’ve faced throughout the years. From shared triumphs and critical moments solved in marriage counseling, these images offer a rare glimpse into the story of one of America’s most iconic couples.

Sam Spade - you seem to be perseverating about Michelle's pregnancies. Some people are private about these things. In addition, these are only 30 pictures out of a 25-year marriage. There's something kind of creepy about your obsession with this. Take a look at Malia and tell me that is not her daughter. I suggest you consider not saying anything if you cannot say something nice about these personal photographs. Just Google "pictures of Michelle Obama Pregnant" and I bet you can get your itch scratched. Nobody cares except you.

Such a beautiful family can now go back to living a "normal" life. Unless he chooses to remain in politics. Of course it is still up in the air as to whether Michelle will run for the White house in 2020. Some say yes, others no. The next four years will tell.
