Michelle Obama says she's ‘glad' for not having a son, explains why: Watch video
Speaking with her brother Craig Robinson and radio host Angie Martinez during a discussion on masculinity and parenting, Obama replied to Martinez's comment, 'You should've thrown a boy in the mix,' by saying, 'I'm so glad I didn't have a boy.'
In a lighthearted moment on the latest episode of The Light Podcast (IMO), Michelle Obama joked that she has no regrets about not having a son, saying he would've just been a 'pint-sized version' of her husband, Barack Obama.
A netizen replied, 'That marriage is over.'
Another said, 'She just keeps on dissing him but she has the two girls?? 😜' Netizens react to the viral video.
Earlier on Fathers Day, Michelle penned a heartfelt message, saying, 'I love looking back at photos like this of when our girls were younger,' Michelle wrote. '@BarackObama has always been there for us no matter what — even when it felt like the weight of the world was on his shoulders. We've always been so grateful.'
The eldest daughter of Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, Malia Ann, ditched her last name in 2024. The 26-year-old has chosen to go by "Malia Ann" professionally, seeking to carve out her own identity as a filmmaker and creative force, independent of her family's political legacy.
Michelle Obama has recently opened up in interviews and on her podcast about the family's personal journey, marriage struggles, and parenting experiences. The Obamas, married since 1992, have two daughters: Malia, 26, and Sasha, 24.
I'm so glad I didn't have a boy.
According to Page Six, Barack Obama previously suggested that his back-to-back terms in office from 2009 to 2017 took a toll on his relationship with the former first lady.
'Let me just say this: It sure helps to be out of the White House and to have a little more time with her,' Barack said in an exclusive May 2023 interview with CBS news, praising Michelle for being 'forgiving' of his shortcomings.

Harvey Weinstein digging into old Hollywood deals to find funds for soaring legal costs: Report
Convicted sex offender Harvey Weinstein is desperately looking to pay his legal bills that have hit the 'tens of millions', an insider has claimed, adding that the disgraced film producer is now going through his movie contracts from jail to check if any payments are pending. Harvey Weinstein has already been convicted of a criminal sex act against one woman and acquitted on another charge(AP) A report by Page Six claimed that a source revealed that Weinstein has racked up "tens of millions" of legal bills and "could use the money" to pay those. The Miramax co-founder filed a lawsuit recently alleging he's owed $2.3 million by his former partners in the 2015 Broadway musical, 'Finding Neverland.' 'Finding Neverland,' a stage adaptation of the Weinstein Company film about the creator of 'Peter Pan,' starred Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet in its movie version. The musical enjoyed a 17-month Broadway run before embarking on a national tour. Weinstein has already been convicted of a criminal sex act against one woman and acquitted on another charge, and is still appealing a 2022 sexual assault conviction in Los Angeles, where he received a 16-year prison sentence. He continues to deny all allegations against him. He's also facing a third retrial on a third-degree rape charge from 2013. The report quoted a source, revealing that Weinstein told his attorney Robert J Hantman that while he was in jail, "he had time to go over old deals and realised that the co-producers owe him money." In court papers filed on August 5, Weinstein claims he was promised $5,750 per week for the musical and 'a share of Net Profits equal to' 27.5% under an agreement that was never finalised. According to the Hollywood Reporter, he also asserts that he still owns half of the show and accuses his partners of keeping 'an unauthorised payment' he values at $4.6 million, of which he says $2.3 million rightfully belongs to him. The defendants, NETworks Presentations and National Artists Management Company, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

DiCaprio, wearing an all-black outfit with his signature baseball cap and a chain, looked at his phone as he waited for his turn to be searched. They are searching me full-on right now A woman in the background can be heard saying, "'They are searching me full-on right now." It's unknown if the woman speaking is DiCaprio's girlfriend, 27-year-old model Vittoria Ceretti, who was with him in Ibiza, as per the outlet. "Every single person was patted down and ID'd," the source said, adding that there were many notable people at the party. The Spanish cops just didn't initially recognise DiCaprio, reported Page Six. "It's funny, they did a double-take and then he went in!" the source continued. Travis Scott was denied entry into the exclusive party held at a private villa by Patron and Spanish actor and singer Aron Piper, the Daily Mail reported, but other celebs that made it in included Kendall Jenner and DiCaprio's best friend Tobey Maguire.

DiCaprio has been linked to the Italian-born model since the summer of 2023. But she's said that she doesn't like being known as the "Titanic" star's girlfriend, as per the outlet. "As soon as you're in a relationship with someone who has a larger following than you, you become 'girlfriend of' -- or 'boyfriend of,' for that matter," she said in March. "And that can be extremely annoying." "Suddenly, people are talking about you as so-and-so's girlfriend who was so-and-so's ex," she continued. "So it's not nice to think that you can't love whoever you want, because of the labels people need to stick on you," reported Page Six.
