Michelle Obama is making waves and spilling beans!
The former First Lady of the United States of America has come back to the limelight with her new podcast ‘IMO’ which she cohosts with her brother Craig Robinson.
Along with hosting her new podcast, Michelle recently made an appearance on another popular podcast, ‘Not Gonna Lie’, which is hosted by Kylie Kelce - an American media personality and wife of Jason Kelce, the former NFL player.
While talking to Kylie about motherhood, Michelle opened up about her family dynamics amidst the divorce rumors of her with her husband, former President of the US, Barack Obama.
What Michelle Obama said:
While discussing her family dynamics, Michelle opened up about Barack’s wish for a third child. On the podcast Not Gonna Lie, she revealed, “I was like, I think I've been lucky with these two. Barack was like, ‘We should have a third,’ and I was like, ‘Dude.’”
Now, Kylie, who is expecting her fourth child with her husband Jason Kelce, mentioned her two daughters, saying, “Two good sleepers, I'd call it too;” to which, Michelle responded, “You know, I'm thinking we're gonna get a crazy one.”
While discussing motherhood, Michelle also expressed how happy and satisfied she is with her two daughters, Malia, 26, and Sasha, 23. Along with that, the former First Lady also shared a bit about the post-partum state of mind, saying, “I think the sadness or the postpartum that I felt with my kids really came from the fact that you love these babies so much. You immediately feel connected, and you think, ‘Oh my god, all you have is me. I feel so bad for you. I wish you had a parent.’”
The parenting project:
While Michelle has always been an opinionated and vocal one regarding social and political issues, during her tenure as the First Lady, as well as after that - the author of ‘Becoming’ admits that she prioritizes being a mother over running for president.
Michelle explained that despite being approached numerous times about the possibility of her running for president, she would never consider it, primarily due to her responsibilities as a mother and also because she is “not interested in politics in that way.”
Michelle said, “I wanted them to have the freedom of not having the eyes of the world on them. And so when people ask me if I would ever run, the answer is no. If you ask me that, then you have absolutely no idea the sacrifice that your kids make when your parents are in that role.” the former First Lady added, “The thought of putting my girls back into that spotlight when they are just now establishing themselves— I think we've done enough… they’ve already served their time.”
The crack on the wall:
The rumors have been swirling around on and off for almost a year now, that Barack Obama and Jennifer Aniston are supposedly on each other’s radar. This rumor first surfaced last year after InTouch magazine published an eye-catching piece titled The Truth About Jen & Barack and that gained momentum once again following reports hinting at possible issues between Barack and Michelle Obama. Although there’s been no substantial evidence to support the claim of their affair, the rumor has made its way back to the internet now and then.
A while ago, Aniston was asked about it during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s show last fall, and she denied it. She opened up about the rumors of her secret romance with former President Barack Obama and said, "Of all the calls you get from your publicist where you're like, 'Oh no, what's it gonna be?' Or the emails saying some cheesy tabloid's going to make up a story and then it's that," she joked, adding, "I was not mad at it." She clarified, "I know Michelle [Obama] more than him," which put that rumor to rest from Aniston’s end.
However, after much to-and-fro, Barack put all the rumors to rest with a birthday post that he dedicated to his darling wife, Michelle. Obama celebrated Michelle’s birthday with a heartfelt Instagram post before leaving for Washington, D.C., where he was spotted dining by all alone at a popular Italian restaurant.
In a January 17 post, Barack wrote, “Happy birthday to the love of my life, @MichelleObama. You fill every room with warmth, wisdom, humor, and grace – and you look good doing it.”
Michelle, the mother of their two daughters -- Malia, and Sasha, commented sweetly on her husband's post. Along with a kissing face and heart emoji, she wrote, “I love you, honey!”
Not only that, the Obamas did not forget to show some love to each other on Valentine’s Day as well. In a post on X, the former President of the USA, wrote, “Thirty-two years together and you still take my breath away. Happy Valentine’s Day, @MichelleObama.” He also attached a selfie of the two of them smiling at each other.
It was not just Barack, who expressed his love; Michelle too responded to his adorable post, writing, “If there’s one person I can always count on, it’s you, @BarackObama. You’re my rock. Always have been. Always will be. Happy Valentine’s Day, honey!” She added with a heart emoji with the write-up.
