The news comes as her husband was seen attending the inauguration ceremony of President Donald Trump alone amid rumors that the pair have split.

The 44th president appeared happy and smiling, greeting everyone as he arrived inside. He sat next to former US President George W. Bush and his wife Laura Bush.

Michelle’s team had made it very clear that she was not interested in attending the event and would be vacationing during that time.

The fact that Mrs. Obama thought it would be appropriate to share a post through her Instagram account honoring Martin Luther King Jr. on his birthday while staying silent on Donald Trump’s inauguration meant so much.

‘It just goes to show that she could care less about protocol and Trump’s entry into the White House!’- one insider revealed.

Michelle shared how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s legacy of service has always inspired her. She hoped others would join her in this cause of celebrating him and honoring his legacy by getting more involved with community efforts.
