It looks like former First Lady Michelle Obama is just as desperate for attention as her husband.
During a segment on her new podcast, Michelle Obama said she wanted to “push Barack out of the window” and compared her marriage to basketball before admitting that “Barack and I have been broken off and on…”
Joined with comedian host Conan O’Brien on the podcast, Obama was speaking romantic relationships and marriage.
During the talk, Obama admitted that her marriage to former President Barack Obama has been a rough one.
“There were times that I wanted to push Barack out of the window. And I say that because it’s like, you’ve got to know the feelings will be intense. But that doesn’t mean you quit. And these periods can last a long time. They can last years,” she said.
Obama went on to say that she and Barack have been broken off and on throughout their marriage.
However, she quickly claimed that she now has a “very strong marriage.”
“And I just want to say, look, if that breaks a marriage, then Barack and I have been broken off and on, throughout our marriage, but we have a very strong marriage,” she said.
She then claimed that if she had walked away, she would have missed “the beauty” in their relationship.
“And if I had given up on it, if I had walked away from it, in those tough times, then I would’ve missed all the beauty that was there as well,” she said.

Obama has been very busy lately making headlines.
Last week, it was announced that Ann Romney, the wife of Utah GOP Sen. Mitt Romney, is teaming up with Michelle Obama and a bunch of other Hollywood elites in a “comedy event” on ABC to encourage voting in the 2020 election.
Obama’s nonprofit group is also spearheading production on this event as well.
The former first lady and Romney will appear on “VOMO: Vote Or Miss Out,” an hourlong “non-partisan comedy event” that, according to ABC, will “encourage electoral participation in the 2020 election” when it airs on Sept. 14.
Michelle Obama’s nonprofit When We All Vote is working with production companies ATTN: and Sara + Tom.
Kevin Hart will host and stars such as Cristela Alonzo, Tim Allen, Whitney Cummings, Will Ferrell, Kaia Gerber, Charlamagne Tha God, Tiffany Haddish, Jon Hamm, Scarlett Johansson, Liza Koshy, Jay Leno, Jaden Smith, Willow Smith, 2 Chainz & Lil Baby will participate in the event.
Three other prominent Republicans will appear in the campaign — Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Cindy McCain, the widow of Sen. John McCain.
