Michelle Obama’s brother, Craig Robinson, was skeptical about his sister’s relationship with Barack Obama when the couple was dating.
“Then Mich starts dating Barack, and we don’t know who is one guy, we are just like” Barack? Who has a name like Barack? “” Robinson recalled in Wednesday’s episode of the “imo” podcast of his and Michelle.
“And I am thinking that it will last a month like most of your relationships.”
Michelle, 61, joking the offense of his brother’s comments, arguing: “That is not true. I have had many long -term boyfriends.”
“I would call those boyfriends boys,” Robinson joked, 62.
Craig, 62, recalled his mother Miriam Robinson’s reaction when Michelle brought Barack to the house to meet them.
“I remember that mom’s first was:” Oh, at least it’s high! “” That was the first thing he said, because he was generally publishing his other bride and groom. “
However, Craig was not yet convinced, admitting, “and I told Myelf:” Too bad he will not last. “
However, Michelle showed that his brother was wrong. She and Barack, 63, married in 1992, and share two daughter, Malia, 26, and Sasha, 23.
Craig’s revelation in the podcast occurred after Michelle closed the rumors that she and the former president were going to divorce after 32 years of marriage.
The couple became the object of divorce speculation after Barack attended several high profile events without his wife by side.
The author of “Convert” went to the online talk in the Podcast “Work in progress” by Sophia Bush earlier this month, explaining why he decided to step back from the attention center.
“The interesting thing is that when I say:” For the most part, people say: “I understand,” and I’m fine, “Michelle said.
“And that is what women fight: to disappointing people,” the former first lady continued.
“So much so, that people could not be in which I was making a decision for me, that they had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing.”
