If you thought celebrity yachting season<\/a> was over, think again. Apparently it\u2019s still warm enough to enjoy Steven Spielberg\u2019s $250 million boat, Seven Seas, in Portofino, Italy, which is exactly what Barack and Michelle Obama<\/a> did this weekend.<\/p>\n

According to TMZ<\/a>, Michelle arrived in Portofino before her husband on Friday, but they were soon spotted enjoying lunch with Spielberg and his wife, Kate Capshaw, aboard their docked superyacht. I can\u2019t say I blame them \u2014 it\u2019s been a stressful few weeks, and if I had a friend with a megayacht, I, too, would have seized on the chance to escape the U.S. and bask in the Mediterranean sun.<\/p>\n

This well-timed Italian double date comes two months after the Obamas shot down divorce rumors<\/a> on Michelle\u2019s podcast, IMO<\/a>. \u201cThere hasn\u2019t been one moment in our marriage where I thought about quitting on my man,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd we\u2019ve had some really hard times, and we\u2019ve had a lot of fun times, a lot of adventures, and I have become a better person because of the man I\u2019m married to.\u201d Something tells me the Euro summers help?<\/p>\n
