Megyn Kelly Says Michelle Obama Married the Wrong Man—and the Internet Said, “Girl, Be Serious”
Whew, Megyn Kelly really woke up and chose… Michelle Obama?
On the latest episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, the former Fox News and NBC anchor decided to drop a hot take that nobody asked for: that Michelle and Barack Obama “married the wrong people.” Yes, you read that right—Megyn thinks the Obamas, America’s favorite high-powered couple, should’ve swiped left on each other.
“I think she and he married the wrong people,” Megyn said casually, as if she wasn’t talking about one of the most beloved First Couples in modern history.
Umm… come again?
Why Is This Even a Thing?
Kelly was reacting to a clip from Michelle Obama’s new podcast, IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson, where Michelle got real about the ups and downs of long-term relationships. You know, grown woman talk—those “we’re not always sunshine and date nights” moments that anyone in a real relationship can relate to.
But somehow, Megyn twisted this into a full-on “they shouldn’t be together” narrative. Like… girl, did you listen to the whole episode or just read one quote and run with it?
And yes, Megyn is twice married herself, and her first husband once famously said of their split, “I wanted a wife, and she wanted a wife.” So maybe we should tread lightly on the whole relationship guru energy?
The Internet Wasn’t Having It
Once the clip of Megyn’s commentary hit social media, folks ran to their keyboards like it was the Beyoncé drop. The general vibe? “Megyn, please sit down.”
“Michelle’s marriage is your hill to die on? Really?” “Meanwhile, the Obamas are out here thriving, glowing, and giving forever goals.”
Many pointed out that Michelle and Barack have been together for 30+ years, built an empire, raised two beautiful daughters, AND managed to survive 8 years in the White House—together. That’s not just #relationshipgoals, that’s #rideordie certified.
Let’s be honest: if Michelle can survive a presidency and book tours with Barack, we’re pretty sure she married exactly the right man.
Let’s Not Confuse “Honest” with “Unhappy”
Michelle Obama has always been candid about marriage being work—especially when you’re balancing careers, kids, and public scrutiny. But that doesn’t mean she’s packing her bags. It means she’s human. And tbh, that kind of transparency is exactly why so many women admire her.
Also… remember when Michelle said she “couldn’t stand Barack for 10 years” during the early parenting years? That’s not a dig. That’s just peak mom truth.
Final Thoughts?
Megyn’s comment feels less like insightful analysis and more like a spicy little reach for headlines. But hey, mission accomplished—we’re all talking, right?
As for Michelle and Barack? They’re too busy living their best Netflix-producing, book-writing, multi-million-dollar fabulous life to even notice.
