Former President Barack Obama attended a Los Angeles Clippers game courtside on Wednesday—but noticeably without his wife, former First Lady Michelle Obama, further sparking rumors of a coming break-up.
Instead, Obama was seen sitting alongside Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and his wife, Connie Snyder, effectively third-wheeling, according to TMZ.
Despite that, the 44th president appeared to enjoy himself as he watched the Clippers defeat the Detroit Pistons 123-115.
When his presence was announced on the big screen at the newly opened Intuit Dome, Obama stood up and waved, receiving a standing ovation from the crowd, the New York Post reported. “The NBA game was the latest of Barack’s public appearances sans wife, which has brought their marriage under scrutiny,” the outlet added.
