After daughters Malia, 24, and Sasha, 22, moved out together, Barack and Michelle enjoy their time together.
However, in a candid 2020 interview, the former Commander in Chief confessed that being in the White House had strained their marriage. He claimed that marital strife “was the truth of our time in the White House.”
“Michelle very much believed in the work I did but was less optimistic about what I could get done. … She’s more skeptical about politics and more mindful of the sacrifices to the family,” he said in the interview. Although, he says they survived it as a couple.

“I think we came out of it whole,” he continued. “There were great joys in the White House. There was never a time when we didn’t recognize what an extraordinary privilege it was to be there. Most importantly, our children emerged intact and they are wonderful, kind, thoughtful, creative — and not entitled — young women. So that’s a big sigh of relief.”
He admitted that since they quit the high-pressure profession, Michelle in particular had been able to “let out a breath and relax.” “You know the old adage, ‘if mom’s happy, everybody’s happy?” he asked. “It very much applies in our household.”
