Take that haters! Former President Barack Obama and Former First Lady Michelle Obama keep trying to tell ya’ll they have no plans on divorcing. But for those who still need convincing, the first Black First Couple just gave us another sign that everything is ok. Barack and Michelle were spotted doing date night in D.C. enjoying dinner at Osteria Mozza, a popular Italian restaurant in Georgetown. In a video shared on Instagram, other guests give the Obamas the rock star treatment, erupting in applause as they leave the restaurant. The pair waved to the excited onlookers as President Obama shook hands with a restaurant employee.

While we don’t have any details on what either of them ordered, we do know the restaurant is one of the couple’s favorites. Back in January, the New York Post reported spotting President Obama dining there alone the night before President Donald Trump’s election. Mrs. Obama also hosted a private event at the restaurant back in November 2024.

Others were less than subtle about their desire to see the Obamas replace the current occupants of the White House. One commenter posted a hilarious meme of Sofia Vergara, captioned, “Please come back!”
