Michelle Obama talks about Barack Obama and her height
Barack Obama’s wife, Michelle, has opened up about their marriage, sharing new insight into their dynamic. During the November 19 episode of her podcast IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson, the former First Lady joined Jane Fonda, Bethann Hardison and Jenna Lyons for a discussion aging, self-acceptance and love.
During the discussion, Michelle spoke candidly about embracing her 5-foot-11 height and her comfort wearing heels. She shared that she appreciates the way heels enhance her posture and appearance. “I love my height. I love a four-inch heel as long as I’m just walking from here to there! I love the silhouette of a heel — the way it makes your foot look,” she said. However, she prefers smaller heels when comfort is a priority. The author added, “Now, I feel like I completely own all of me — my height, all of it.”
Michelle also addressed how her height plays into her marriage. She noted that Barack Obama, who is 6-foot-1, has never shown discomfort about her wearing heels. “Fortunately, I have a tall husband. But I also have a husband who doesn’t mind when I’m eye-to-eye with him because I’ve got a heel on.
According to Michelle, Barack Obama responds positively when she stands beside him at full height. The former First Lady explained, “He’s like, ‘Okay, we’re going to be tall tonight.’ I’m like, ‘Yes, we are.’ And it helps, right, because my partner loves every inch of me. So that helps.”
Michelle and Barack Obama have been married since 1992 and share two daughters, Malia and Sasha.
