Michelle Obama puts Barack's fitness on blast in appearance with Ellen DeGeneres

Michelle Obama always keeps it real, and the former First Lady showed that former President Barack Obama is not exempt from her brutal honesty.


"This is one bike ride he was complaining about," Obama said during a virtual appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "He literally said it was my choice. I said, 'Are you sure?' He said, 'I'll just follow you.' So, an hour into the ride, he's like, 'When are we gonna go home? I'm hungry.' I was like, 'If you wanted a short bike ride, you should've told me.'"
The 57-year-old made sure to note that her husband "is feeling good about himself" and "looks good" as he approaches his 60th birthday this August.

Elsewhere in the episode, Obama revealed what she took from the White House and how "ecstatic" she felt about President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris' historic inauguration in January: 

Obama's educational Netflix series Waffles + Mochi, for which she served as executive producer through hers and Barack's Higher Ground Productions, became available to stream Tuesday:

The 44th President of the United States has been similarly productive, as his joint-podcast with Bruce Springsteen Renegades: Born in the USA hit Spotify in late February.
