Michelle Obama has said she is ‘glad’ she never had a son because he would have turned out like her husband – as their unhappy marriage rumours refuse to go away.
The former First Lady, 61, shares daughters Sasha, 24, and Malia, 26, with 44th US president Barack Obama, 63, who was in office from 2009 to 2017.
Speaking on her podcast IMO, which she co-hosts with her brother Craig Robinson, she said on Wednesday: ‘I’m so glad I didn’t have a son because he would have been a Barack Obama.’ Guest Angie Martinez, an American radio presenter, there to help out on the agony aunt show, replied: ‘Baby Barack. It would have been amazing.’
But Mrs Obama soon countered, The Telegraph reports: ‘No, I would’ve felt for him.’
It comes as the couple, who tied the knot in 1992 after meeting as fellow attorneys at a Chicago law firm in 1989, face speculation their marriage is on the rocks – which Mrs Obama has vehemently denied.
