Obama was introduced at the ceremony and walked into the swearing-in ceremony inside the Capitol alone. The ceremony was moved indoors due to the intense cold.

The Obamas' statement did not provide a reason as to why the former first lady was skipping the event. Michelle Obama also skipped former President Jimmy Carter's funeral earlier this month.

Fox News Digital's Michael Dorgan and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
