I got married to man who wasn’t financially sound – Michelle Obama admits

Published on April 03, 2025 at 09:22 AM

Former U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama has admitted that Barack Obama was “not financially sound” when she met him.

The couple met in 1988 when Barack took a job at a law firm in Chicago where Michelle was already working.

Speaking on the podcast she hosts with her brother, Craig, Michelle spent much of their most recent episode discussing the importance of having a partner with financial stability.

Talking with British author Jay Shetty, Craig put the question directly to his famous sister.

He asked, “Would you be attracted to a guy who's not financially sound when you meet him?”

Michelle immediately responded, “Uh, I married one.”

Craig then laughed and admitted to his sister that he'd set her up.

“Don't you like that alley-oop I just threw you? In basketball, you just point—you don’t even have to say it,” he said.
