She's even giving marriage advice.

Today (Oct.11), our forever first lady, Michelle Obama, opened up about her personal life with a lengthy appearance on NBC's Today Show, and here’s everything we know about her life after the White House!

While promoting her initiative the Global Girls Alliance, created to offer girls around the world education, Mrs. Obama shared why she’ll “absolutely not” run for President. 

Since moving out of the White House, Mrs. Obama admits she is happy to have the “small things” back in her life! 

“It's opening my door and walking out and enjoying the weather and sitting on my patio,” she shared before adding, “Going to my girls' games and really being a mom. There's nothing new going on, it's just where out in the real world.”

She even shared her secret to the perfect marriage! 

“One of the keys to a successful marriage is separate bathrooms,” she said while joking about her husband, our forever president Barack Obama's house cleaning habits.

She also spoke about her beautiful daughter,s Malia, 20, and Sasha, 17, proudly confirming "they're doing well," as they wrap up Sasha’s senior year in high school.

“I'm so proud of them,” she shared. "I think about what it means for them to have their voice and to have come out of those eight years [in the White House] confident and poised. 

“It's tough growing up in the public eye. With all the criticisms and judgment... we're in the era of social media where everything gets thrown out of proportion.”

Absolutely! And we are so happy our favorite family is still adjusting so well!
