Barack Obama attends the inauguration while Michelle chooses to stay away.
Last week, it was reported that Michelle Obama would not be attending the inauguration without giving a reason.
Barack Obama, the former US president, attended the inauguration ceremony of President-elect Trump on Monday without his former wife, Michelle Obama.
The swearing-in ceremony for Obama took place indoors in the Capitol, with Obama entering the ceremony alone.
Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, accompanied by their spouses, Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush, respectively, arrived at the event.
The former first lady, Michelle Obama, would not be attending the inauguration, as announced by the Obamas last week.
Earlier this month, Michelle Obama skipped former President Jimmy Carter's funeral, just as the Obamas did not provide a reason for her absence at the event.
At Carter's funeral, Obama and Trump, despite their political differences, were seen chatting and laughing like old friends.
The first inauguration of Donald Trump in 2017 was attended by all three former presidents and their wives, including Hillary Clinton, who lost the 2016 presidential election to Trump. Carter also attended.
Melania Trump did not attend President Biden's inauguration in 2021.
