Michelle Obama Shares Great Advice On Finding The Perfect Partner As She Opens Up On Why She Married Barack Obama
Michelle Obama is sharing a factor that might not have been an obvious one in picking former United States president, Barack as her life partner.
The two lawyers met in 1989 in Chicago and they went from being coworkers to a couple.
In this fun and lighthearted episode of “The Jennifer Hudson Show” with the former First Lady, we get to know about her favourite holiday traditions, and more interestingly, why she married Barack and why he’s the hardest person to shop for during the holiday season!
During the chat, Mrs Obama revealed something she found out about her husband that made him a lot more desirable.
The mother of two revealed that him being from the warm locale of Hawaii made some difference.
Barack was born in the tropical state, and Michelle, Barack, and their two daughters Malia and Sasha have made a tradition of spending the holidays there.
Speaking with Hudson, Michelle jokingly said of the joy of spending Christmas in Hawaii,
“You gotta pick your husband right. He got a lot cuter when I found out he was from Hawaii.”

Jennifer asked Michelle who is the “hardest” person in their family to shop for during this time of year, and she quickly said it was Barack. Michelle said:
“He’s just a boy. He just doesn’t do much. He golfs, and there’s only so many golf balls you can get a dude. He’s already got the clubs. I can’t get him another golf shirt.”
She added that the former president “doesn’t want anything” and only asks for “just a nice letter.”
She offered another reason he’s so hard to shop for: He’s frugal.
“I’m trying to get him clothes that he wouldn’t buy because he’s also cheap,” Michelle said.
“So if it’s a really nice jacket, I’m trying to [be] like don’t look at the price. ‘Cause he was like, ‘Why’d you spend this much on a jacket?’ That’s what a gift is.”
The conversation is full of warmth and laughter, as Michelle talks about her travel plans for the holidays and the gifts that really matter to her.
