Barack Obama Just Admitted He Got MORE Out of His Marriage Than Michelle

Hold up — Barack Obama just casually dropped a major confession about his marriage to Michelle, and it’s definitely raising some eyebrows. While the former president and first lady were promoting the opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, he straight-up told People that he’s benefited way more from their relationship than she has. Yeah, you read that right.

The couple has always been the gold standard of political power couples, but Barack’s recent comments suggest the partnership might not be as balanced as we thought. He didn’t hold back when discussing what he’s gotten out of their union — basically admitting that Michelle’s carried more of the load than he has. The timing is interesting too, coming right as they’re celebrating a major professional milestone together.

Michelle hasn’t publicly responded to his comments yet, but you know this is the kind of thing that gets people talking. For decades, the Obamas have been portrayed as relationship goals, so hearing the former POTUS essentially say he’s the one who came out ahead is definitely a plot twist.
