00:08is back in the spotlight after he opened up about their marriage issues in a new interview.

00:13During a conversation with historian David Olasoga at the O2 Arena in London,

00:18Barack spoke about the dark times he and the ex-Flotus endured following their time in the White House.

00:23Former President Barack Obama admitted he had to dig myself out of a hole with Michelle.

00:28After they left the White House in 2017 following his two terms in office.

00:33I was digging myself out of the hole I found myself in with Michelle, Barack admitted during the event,

00:38quipping, now I'm at about level ground.

00:42However, the 61-year-old has also admitted to going through tough times with the ex-Flotus confessing,

00:47people think I'm being catty for saying this.

00:49It's like there were 10 years where I couldn't stand my husband.

00:52Marriage isn't 50-50 ever.

00:54There are times I'm 70, he's 30.

00:56There are times he's 60, 40.

00:59While both Barack and Michelle have done their best to mitigate rumors,

01:03speculation of trouble in their union is still rampant,

01:06with one insider claiming the pair are quietly attempting to divide their $70 million empire.

01:11That source claimed they'd already been living separate lives on opposite coasts for some time.

01:16But that was no longer an option after Michelle refused to run for president,

01:20and Barack was forced to back Kamala Harris.

01:22Michelle posted a message too, writing,

01:25We've been on quite the journey over the last 33 years.

01:29And yet, I love you even more today than the day we said,

01:32I do.

01:33Happy anniversary.

01:34I'm so lucky to go through life with you.
