Michelle Obama reveals one habit of husband Barack that annoys her, but says she's learned to 'adjust'

WASHINGTON, DC: Former first lady Michelle Obama opened up about her husband Barack's pet peeve of being tardy on the premiere episode of her podcast 'IMO' with her brother Craig Robinson, which was released on Wednesday, March 12.
According to Page Six, the admission comes as the couple fights separation rumors after 32 years of marriage. In January, reportedly told the publication that Michelle is "fed up with the political circus” and “pretending everything is OK with Barack all the time.”
The split speculations were further fuelled by Barack attending public events alone, including the funeral service of former president Jimmy Carter and the inauguration ceremony of President Donald Trump.

The Obamas have fought back the rumors, with Barack sharing heartfelt messages for Michelle on her birthday and Valentine's Day, along with sweet pictures of the couple.

"Well, I've got this husband who's like, when it's time to leave, it's 3 o'clock, he's getting up and going to the bathroom," continued Michelle. "And I was like dude, dude... 3 o'clock departure means you've done all that, you know. Don't start looking for your glasses at the 3 o'clock departure."
She did add, "He’s improved over 30 years of marriage, but that was a ‘you must adjust.'”
