Barack and Michelle Obama made light of the viral divorce rumors about them on Michelle's podcast on Wednesday, with the former president quipping that his wife took him back."She took me back!" Barack Obama said jokingly on the "IMO" podcast hosted by his wife and her brother Craig Robinson. "It was touch and go for a while."Michelle Obama's absence from events like President Donald Trump's inauguration and Jimmy Carter's funeral, along with the inevitable internet rumor mill, had drummed up speculation that the couple was on the outs. The former first lady had addressed the online stories in other interviews this year, but this was the first time the couple had discussed it together."It's my husband, ya'll!" Michelle Obama said at the start of the show when he came on. "When we aren't [in the same room], folks think we're divorced."MICHELLE OBAMA'S PODCAST PUTS HER IN LIMELIGHT IN NEW TRUMP ERA, BUT SHE'S NOT COMING TO DEMOCRATS' RESCUERobinson said the rumors had gotten bad enough that one woman asked him in Kansas, "What did he do?", referring to Barack and what he may have done to alienate his wife. Robinson said the woman was delighted to learn that there was nothing to the story.The former president said he had no idea about the rumors because he was disconnected from such online chatter."There hasn't been one moment in our marriage where I've thought about quitting my man," Michelle said. "We've had some really hard times. We've had a lot of fun times, a lot of adventures, and I have become a better person because of the man I'm married to.""Don't make me cry now," Barack said. "Don't let me start tearing up now."MICHELLE OBAMA MOCKS RUMORS THAT HER MARRIAGE IS IN TROUBLEIn previous media appearances, Michelle has ridiculed the rumors and suggested there was a sexist angle to the allegations that she couldn't be a woman simply making her own decisions."But the interesting thing is that when I say no, for the most part, people are like, I get it, and I'm okay,' right?" she told podcast host Sophia Bush of how she spends her time. "And that's the thing that we as women, I think we struggle with, like disappointing people. I mean so much so that this year people were, they couldn't even fathom that I was making a choice for myself, that they had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing, you know? This couldn't be a grown woman just making a set of decisions herself, right? But that's what society does to us.""My decision to skip the inauguration, what people dont realize or my decision to make choices at the beginning of this year that suited me were met with such ridicule and criticism," she said on an episode of her podcast earlier this year. "People couldnt believe that I was saying no for any other reason that they had to assume that my marriage was falling apart."

Thats the ultimate home run," one person wrote."17 home runs and feeding your kid thats Boss status," another added."Im sure with a ballplayers schedule, he doesnt get to give his child a bottle all that often maybe its something he doesnt want to miss out on if he doesnt have to, or maybe he wanted to give his wife a break.

Xander Schauffele has become one of the top golfers in the world in recent years, but no one would ever know it if they took a tour of his house.Schauffele has won nine times on the PGA Tour, including the PGA and Open Championships last year for his first and second majors of his career. He also won the Tour Championship in 2017, as well as three Presidents Cups and a Ryder Cup.There's also the Olympic gold medal from Tokyo in 2021 - and despite plenty of hardware, none of it is at his house.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMSchauffele revealed at Royal Portrush this week, before defending his title, that his parents have all of his trophies "probably in a bank vault somewhere."Except for the gold medal."I actually have no idea where that is, to be completely honest," Schauffele said.PGA STAR'S DAD SKIPPING 'UNWATCHABLE' RYDER CUP AT BETHPAGE BLACK: 'AFRAID OF WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN'"What am I going to do with it?

Josh Allen heads into the 2025 NFL season as the reigning league MVP after a tremendous year with the Buffalo Bills.But, while the award is a tremendous honor, Allen's goal remains clear."On one hand, I always want to be in the conversation with this award. I dont care about winning it. Id rather win a Super Bowl," Allen told Fox News Digital, while discussing his partnership with Natrol, the drug-free sleep-aid brand.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"If I won the next 10 MVPs, Id trade in all 10 of them for one Super Bowl trophy."Allen reiterated what he's said in the past about winning MVP, that it is a "team award." And being in the MVP conversation each season means he's doing his job and winning football games, which ultimately helps his desire of winning a Lombardi Trophy.So, defending that award in 2025 is something Allen thinks about, but not in a selfish way.BILLS' JOSH ALLEN DOWNPLAYS MVP ACCOLADE, SAYS WINNING A CHAMPIONSHIP REMAINS 'THE ONLY GOAL'"Just got to keep putting the head down, and working hard no matter what we did last year. It's not going to carry over to this year," he said. "I do thank voters, all my teammates and coaches helping me get to that point. It is a really cool award and very rewarding in terms of your careers hard work. Thats where I do think its a cool award, but at the same time, Im only playing for one thing and thats winning a Super Bowl."Unfortunately for Allen and the Bills, they haven't been able to make it to "The Big Game" despite being a playoff team every year since the 2019 season. They made it to the AFC Championship Game twice, including this past season, but fallen to the Kansas City Chiefs in both meetings.Each season, including this one coming up, the national conversation revolving around "What can the Bills do to reach the Super Bowl?" is sure to come up, as it has in the past. It can get tiring, but Allen knows it comes with the territory when his team hasn't been able to get there."Weve had a lot of those conversations, and again, the question of, What can the Bills do? We just keep putting our heads down and keep working," he said. "We cant dwell on the past, we can learn from it. I know weve come up to that point quite a few times and havent gotten over the hump. But thats not going to deter us from keeping on trying. Thats all we can do. We cant throw in the towel, we cant stop doing what were doing because we havent gotten the results weve wanted."Allen revealed how he's developed a certain mindset since those tough playoff losses after speaking with teammate Von Miller, the 13-year defensive end."Its very similar in golf, its very similar in any sport that you play. As a quarterback, once I throw the ball, once it leaves my hand, Ive done my job," Allen explained. "I can only control that part up to me throwing the football. Whether the wind comes and takes it and moves it five inches to the left, or right into our receivers hands, or gets tipped and caught once it leaves the hand, theres nothing else I can do. I think thats working hard and doing everything that we do, but when you get into the playoffs, sometimes the ball bounces the other way."I think thats just been the product of whats going on, so were gonna turn over every rock and leaf and do what we can to try to get that ball to jump our way."The only way is forward for Allen and the Bills, as a new season brings new opportunity to finally bring the Lombardi Trophy to a city itching to call it theirs for the first time.And while being recognized as the best in the sport for an entire season is an amazing feat, all Allen dreams about is winning a Super Bowl with the Bills."I have vivid dreams about it," he said. "Hoisting the Lombardi Trophy and having the parade in Buffalo, where every school is off and every restaurant is closed down and theres a million-plus people in Downtown Buffalo. I see us on the stage and talking into the microphone to the crowd. I think that the more you can visualize it, the more you can see it, it gives yourself a better chance of it happening. It would mean everything to me and would be a lifetime achievement for me. "Thats my number one goal in my football career to bring a Lombardi Trophy to Western New York."BETTER SLEEP, BETTER PLAY WITH NATROLThose vivid dreams Allen has can be credited to Natrol, which he believes can give him an edge this season."I only try to partner with brands that I fully believe in, and I think this next part of the process of my journey is unlocking that piece of my game and my life really. I do believe Natrol can help me do that," he said.Allen explained how melatonin products in previous years didnt affect his body the way he had hoped, but during a trip home from Italy last offseason, he slept 10 hours after taking Natrol and he said he was "all in" after that.As a quarterback, being sharp and alert is a requirement all season long, no matter if its the film room, on the practice field, or in a game. Getting a good nights rest is crucial, so whether Allen wants a melatonin product to adjust to the East Coast time difference from his usual West Coast stay, or a melatonin-free "Sleep & Restore" product, Natrol has everything he needs."I do fully believe that I havent been a great sleeper my mind is racing. But every great performance starts with a great nights sleep, and every great nights sleep starts with Natrol. Its a great tagline we like to say, but I truly believe this can unlock another part of my game and I can still continue to get better," he said.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft made a recent comment that caught Bill Belichicks eye.Kraft said that hiring Belichick in 1999 was the best decision that he made as the Patriots owner but added that hiring Belichick was a "big risk.""The one that got questioned the most was in 1999," Kraft said last month during an appearance on "Dudes on Dudes" with Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"I gave up a No. 1 draft pick for a coach that had only won a little over 40% of his games to get him out.

"I made it clear that we would have to change the way the team was managed to regain the previously attained success."Despite the warnings he received, Belichick went on to have one of the most successful runs in NFL history with the Patriots. The Patriots went 266-121 under Belichick, with six Super Bowl titles, 13 AFC Championship Game appearances and 17 AFC East titles."I appreciated Robert (Kraft) giving me the opportunity to make those changes and build a program that was consistent with my vision for a championship team,"Belichick said.Despite Belichick being at the forefront of the Patriots' success, the 73-year-old is still not in the Patriots Hall of Fame.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff of California refused to answer repeated questions from Fox News Digital about his alleged mortgage fraud, which President Donald Trump has accused him of committing over 10 years.The long-time Trump critic, who as a congressman was instrumental in the House of Representatives first and second impeachments during Trumps first term, was accused by the president of committing fraud to obtain lower rates on a second home in Maryland.Trump alleged that Schiff listed a Maryland property as his primary residence in 2009 to obtain a lower mortgage rate, despite being a congressman and then a senator representing California.Schiff has called the accusations "baseless."ADAM SCHIFF HAS A 'LOT OF ISSUES' IN THIS CASE, FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR REVEALSHowever, Schiff ignored a Fox News Digital reporter who asked him, "Do you have a response to Trump saying youre guilty of mortgage fraud?"The Fox News Digital reporter later asked Schiff, "Why did you decide to make your primary residence Maryland for ten years, for a decade, not California? Any comment on Trump accusing you of committing mortgage fraud, sir? Any response?"Schiff ignored the questions, simply responding, "Have a nice day."TRUMP CALLS SEN. ADAM SCHIFF A 'SERIOUS LOWLIFE'Trump posted his allegations on Truth Social on Tuesday morning."I have always suspected Shifty Adam Schiff was a scam artist. And now I learn that Fannie Maes Financial Crimes Division have concluded that Adam Schiff has engaged in a sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud," Trump wrote."Adam Schiff said that his primary residence was in MARYLAND to get a cheaper mortgage and rip off America, when he must LIVE in CALIFORNIA because he was a Congressman from CALIFORNIA. I always knew Adam Schiff was a Crook. The FRAUD began with the refinance of his Maryland property on February 6, 2009, and continued through multiple transactions until the Maryland property was correctly designated as a second home on October 13, 2020.""Mortgage Fraud is very serious, and CROOKED Adam Schiff (now a Senator) needs to be brought to justice."Trump did not provide any evidence of the alleged fraud.SCHIFF RESPONDS TO TRUMP ACCUSATIONS, CALLS FOR HIS REMOVAL FROM OFFICEWhen asked about the accusations later on Tuesday, Trump appeared to soften on the specific accusation."I don't know about the individual charge, if that even happened, but Adam Schiff is a serious lowlife," Trump said.Schiff was not barred from listing the Maryland homes as his primary residence during his term in Congress, since the Constitution only requires that he be an "inhabitant" of California at the time of his election, not throughout his entire service.However, Schiff cited two residences, one in California and one in Maryland, as his "principal residence" on multiple mortgage and election forms dating back to 2003, Just the News reported in October.GAVIN NEWSOM DETRANSITIONED CALIFORNIA FROM BEING THE RICHEST TO THE POORESTIn at least three cases in 2009, 2011 and 2013 Schiff refinanced his Maryland home and declared it his "principal residence," while also listing his Burbank, California condo as his primary residence in separate financing documents, the outlet reported. He then changed the notations on his Maryland mortgage to be a secondary residence.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe pattern was first detected by Christine Bish, a Sacramento-based real estate investigator who ran for Congress as a Republican last year. She filed an ethics complaint against Schiff in Congress.Schiff said Trump's comments were the latest attempt at political retaliation against his perceived enemies and said it would not distract from "his Epstein files problem.""Since I led his first impeachment, Trump has repeatedly called for me to be arrested for treason," Schiff wrote on X. "So in a way, I guess this is a bit of a letdown. And this baseless attempt at political retribution wont stop me from holding him accountable. Not by a long shot."

FIRST ON FOX: The mother of a young girl who was murdered by anMS-13 gang member in 2022 is speaking out after Congressman Russell Fry, R-South Carolina, introduced a bill that could have saved her daughters life.Kayla Hamilton was just 20 years old when she was sexually assaulted, tied up, and strangled to death by Walter Javier Martinez, a 17-year-old illegal migrant in the U.S. under Unaccompanied Alien Child (UAC) status who was sentenced to 70 years in prison this April.This week, Rep. Fry introduced the Kayla Hamilton Act, which would mandate the U.S.Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary to consider whether a UAC, an illegal immigrant under the age of 18, poses a danger to themselves or the community.PROGRESSIVE DEM REP FACES BACKLASH FOR CALLING ICE 'NAZI THUGS' WHILE DEFENDING MS-13 GANG MEMBER"No one else should ever again have to suffer the way my daughter Kayla did," Tammy Nobles, Kaylas mother, told Fox News Digital. "The Biden-Harris Administrations policies prioritized the comfort of illegal aliens, like Kaylas murderer, over the safety of innocent Americans.""The Kayla Hamilton Act is necessary to ensure background checks of unaccompanied alien children occur before they are released. If that had happened in the case of Kaylas murderer, authorities would have known he was an MS-13 gang member."Currently, laws surrounding UACs who enter the U.S. illegally without a parent or legal guardian to provide care, require illegal minors to be sent to the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) under HHS rather than being immediately deported.ICE SWOOPS IN ON MS-13 KINGPIN HIDING IN AMERICA'S HEARTLAND AFTER INVESTIGATIONRep. Frys bill would create tighter restrictions on how HHS should assess illegal migrants who are minors by requiring HHS to contact the consulate or embassy of a UACs home country to determine any criminal history or gang affiliation, mandatescreening for gang tattoos, and ensure UACs with known gang ties or tattoos must be housed in secure HHS facilities, not released into communities."The Kayla Hamilton Act is a critical step toward restoring accountability and protecting American communities," Fry told Fox News Digital. "The tragic murder of Kayla Hamilton was entirely preventablea failure by the Biden-Harris Administration to enforce basic vetting protocols.""As the House Judiciary Committee report revealed, Walter Javier Martinez had MS13 tattoos and a gang-related arrest in El Salvador long before HHS released him to a sponsor," Fry continued. "The Kayla Hamilton Act eliminates this reckless discretion and mandates that HHS conduct full background checks, evaluate gang indicators like tattoos, and house dangerous UACs in secure facilities."ASSAULTS ON ICE OFFICERS SURGE 830% AS DEMOCRATS CAUGHT 'DOXING AND PHYSICALLY ASSAULTING' AGENTS: DHSThe bill is in line with the executive branch andPresident Donald Trumps movement to secure the U.S. border and hold dangerous illegal migrants accountable through deportations and criminal penalties.It is estimated the Trump administration has deported more than 250,000 illegal migrants, according to theDepartment of Homeland Security.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"This legislation ensures that public safety will never again be an afterthought," Fry added.
