After working to shut down recent divorce rumors, Michelle Obama still appears prepared to spill some tea about her relationship with her husband, Barack Obama, in a podcast conversation this week with Kylie Kelce.
In a preview for Kelce’s “Not Gonna Lie” episode, which is scheduled to drop today, the former first lady revealed how she and the former president are very much still together, according to the Daily Beast. However, she also disclosed that they don’t necessarily agree on the right time for going to bed, with the two sometimes clashing on her desire to turn in early.
Michelle Obama insisted that she likes to go to bed early, suggesting that the former president likes to stay up — doing what, she didn’t say.
“My husband teases me about how early I can go to bed,” she told Kelce, the wife of retired NFL star Jason Kelce. “He just doesn’t understand — the idea of getting into some good sheets, and it’s cool.”
If they have guests, Michelle Obama said she loves to stay up late, laughing and talking. “I’m game, I’m there, I’m up, I’m in it,” she said. But the minute the party is over, “I’m just trying not to go to bed before the sun goes down.”
When Kelce asked Michelle Obama about her “ideal” bedtime, she laughed: “Man, any time after dinner.”
Michelle Obama, 61, explained that her early-to-bed habits began when she was raising the couple’s two daughters, Malia, now 26, and Sasha, now 23. As children, they went to bed early.
“Bath time 7:00, bedtime 7:30,” Michelle Obama said. Perhaps relatable to other parents of small children, she said she savored those quiet hours after her children went to sleep. “I had a least a couple hours where nobody was asking me for anything,” she said. And maybe that’s where I got the early bedtime from.”
As the Daily Beast and other outlets have reported, divorce rumors have swirled around the Obamas over the past few months.
