Barack Obama has made a surprising marriage admission regarding his relationship with Michelle Obama.

The Obamas tied the knot in 1992, with the pair moving into the White House in 2009 and staying until 2017 upon the conclusion of Obama's time as president.

The former president has previously said that his long run in office put a strain on his marriage with the former first lady, while speculation surrounding their marriage has been prevalent for years - with some rumors online even being spread about divorce.

Obama, the 44th POTUS, appeared at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York on Thursday (April 4) to discuss many topics, including his views on Donald Trump's tariffs.

The 63-year-old confirmed he was in the midst of finishing the second half of his presidential memoirs and used the platform to speak out about America’s gun laws.

And according to the Daily Beast, Obama even spoke about his marriage to Michelle while speaking to College President Steven Tepper.

"I was in a deep deficit with my wife," the former president said. "So I have been trying to dig myself out of that hole by doing occasionally fun things."

Michelle is certainly not afraid to speak about the pair's marriage, and has previously detailed one annoying thing about her husband she had to learn to deal with over the years.

Speaking on her podcast, IMO, Michelle admitted her husband struggled with this one thing throughout their relationship.

She said: "Barack, you know, he had to adjust to what 'on time' was for me.”

Joking about his Hawaiian roots, she added: “Because he was on that island time.”

Michelle went on to explain that Obama would start getting ready at the time they were meant to be leaving.

"You know, I've got this husband who's like, when it's time to leave, it's 3, he's getting up and going to the bathroom," the former first lady added.

“And I was like, dude, dude, a 3 o'clock departure means you've done all that, you know? It's like, don't start looking for your glasses, you know, at the 3 o'clock departure.”

Apparently, Obama's punctuality has improved over the years, according to Michelle.

Over their 30 years of marriage, Michelle admitted the former president's time keeping has improved and noted that their two daughters, Malia and Sasha, know to arrive early if they are doing anything with her.

Obama seemingly didn't manage his time keeping during his time in the White House however, with the Washington Post revealing in 2014 that Obama was over 35 hours late to his scheduled engagements.
