“I could not have endured eight years in the White House without my older brother,” Michelle remarked, reflecting on her tenure as First Lady from 2009 to 2017.
“Being married to the President of the United States is something none of us anticipated. We recognized Barack’s intelligence and ambition, but still…” she continued.
Michelle elaborated that she and her brother Craig, who is the executive director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, would be addressing viewer inquiries about “the challenges you face in life, whether it’s navigating the complexities of marriage and parenting, managing friendship issues, or even exploring the dating scene.”
She acknowledged her longstanding aversion to politics, noting that it was her brother, Craig Robinson, who persuaded her to support her husband’s presidential campaign. The podcast will also touch on Robinson’s divorce from his first wife and his current marriage to Kelly McCrum Robinson. Additionally, they will discuss the ongoing speculation regarding the Obamas’ alleged divorce, a topic that has garnered significant media attention in recent months.
Rumors of their separation escalated to the point where some media outlets suggested that Barack Obama was romantically linked to actress Jennifer Aniston. However, Aniston refuted these claims during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, stating that she has only met the former president once.
Michelle and her brother plan to feature celebrity guests, including some who previously appeared on The Michelle Obama Podcast, such as director Tyler Perry, as well as new guests like actor Seth Rogen.
