Michelle Obama is happy with the family she has.
While detailing why she is content with life as a mom to Sasha Obama, 23, and Malia Obama, 26, with former President Barack Obama, she admitted that if they’d had a son, there would’ve been too much pressure on him to follow in her husband’s footsteps.
“I’m so glad I didn’t have a boy,” Michelle shared on the June 18 episode of her podcast, IMO, before guest Angie Martinez asked why she and the 44th president didn’t “throw in a third.”
“Because he would’ve been a Barack Obama,” the 61-year-old responded. “I would’ve felt for him.”
After her brother and cohost Craig Robinson—who shares son Avery Robinson, 33, and daughter Leslie Robinson, 29, with ex-wife Janis Robinson and sons Austin Robinson, 15, and Aaron Robinson, 13, with wife Kelly Mccrum—joked that the Becoming author “just borrowed our boys,” she agreed, saying, “I got plenty.”
As for her own parenthood journey, Michelle gushed over every stage of raising Sasha and Malia.
