Former President Barack Obama was greeted by cheers of support from patrons at a swanky Washington, D.C. eatery where he was spotted alone without his wife Michelle as rumors swirl that their marriage is on the rocks.
Obama may not have the clout that he once did after being unable to sway voters to back Kamala Harris’ doomed White House campaign but he’s still a local hero inside the Beltway and when he popped into hotspot Osteria Mozza last weekend, he was showered with love with the happy salutations being caught on video which has since gone viral.

“Whoo!” Shouted some patrons who also burst into applause as the familiar, slender frame of Obama was seen entering the ritzy establishment gliding up a flight of stairs and waving at fans seated on the second level at the Italian restaurant located at 3276 M St NW in the Georgetown market.
“We miss you!” exclaimed a woman at the establishment where Bistecca Alla Fiorentina, a 50-ounce dry-aged, bone-in porterhouse, goes for $175.

The nation’s 44th president may not have been accompanied by Mrs. Obama but he wasn’t joined by Jennifer Aniston either, even as buzz is building of a possible romance with the “Friends” actress.
Gossip that the 63-year-old political rock star and his longtime spouse could be heading for divorce began to build when Michelle Obama was a no-show at Jimmy Carter’s funeral earlier this month, reportedly because of her contempt for President Donald J. Trump. She also declined to attend Trump’s inauguration on Monday, leaving her husband alone to hang out with the Clintons and George W. Bush at the historic event.
Dumping Michelle is one thing but the possibility that he could hook up with Aniston has been gold for tabloids and a country that has long marinated in celebrity worship.
Conservative journalist and podcaster Megyn Kelly recently poured gasoline on the rumors that Barry and Jen could be an item.
NEW: Megyn Kelly breaks down the rumors that Barack & Michelle Obama are separating, says it would be a “political earthquake” if true.
“I do not know whether this is true, but if it is, it truly would be a political earthquake in democrat circles, never mind America.”

“I do not know whether this is true at all. But if it is true, it truly would be a political earthquake in Democrat circles, never mind America. I don’t remember a presidential divorce in modern history,” Kelly said.
“Did you see the post he put out to celebrate for their anniversary? He chose the least attractive photo of her that’s ever been released. I mean, this is just wrong,” she added, referring to a very unflattering pic of the couple’s intimate celebration that Obama posted to social media.
A torrid romance with the leftist actress could be just the ticket for Obama to dispel rumors that he’s gay if he splits with Michelle.
