Former First Lady Michelle Obama recently took to Instagram to wish her husband, former President Barack Obama, a happy 63rd birthday. In a heartfelt post, Michelle expressed her love for Barack, captioning a photo of the couple attempting to move a large rock together with a message celebrating their enduring partnership.
The post garnered birthday wishes from various celebrities, including reality TV star Cynthia Bailey, comedian Chelsea Handler, former talk show host Loni Love, and actress Debi Mazar, all praising the couple's relationship.
Barack and Michelle Obama first met at a Chicago law firm and got married in October 1992. They have two daughters, Malia and Sasha, who are now 26 and 23 years old, respectively.
Michelle Obama has been open about the challenges and triumphs of her marriage to Barack. During a panel discussion in December 2022, she revealed that there was a period of about 10 years where she struggled in her relationship with her husband, particularly when their children were young. Michelle admitted to feeling resentment towards Barack as she juggled motherhood and her career, while he had more freedom to pursue his interests.
Despite these challenges, Michelle emphasized that marriage is not always a perfect 50/50 split, acknowledging that there were times when one partner had to carry more of the load. She expressed gratitude for the strength of their relationship over the years, stating that she would choose to endure difficult times if it meant ultimately spending three decades together.
