A former U.S. president made a courtside appearance at a Los Angeles Clippers game on Wednesday night, attending without his spouse. The appearance has drawn public interest due to the absence of his partner during several recent events.
He was seen sitting alongside Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and Ballmer’s wife, Connie Snyder, at the newly opened Intuit Dome, where the Clippers defeated the Detroit Pistons 123–115. When his presence was shown on the big screen, he stood and waved, receiving a standing ovation from the crowd.
This outing follows a recent dinner the night before at Anajak Thai in Sherman Oaks with his daughters, Malia and Sasha. His spouse was again not seen with him at that event.
Despite recent speculation about the couple’s time spent apart at public events, both individuals shared affectionate messages on Valentine’s Day this year. They each posted photos and captions on social media expressing appreciation and love for one another.
The couple has occasionally attended major events separately in recent years, a choice that continues to draw attention due to their high public profile. Representatives for the family have not made any public statements regarding these appearances.
