Michelle Obama Says She’s ‘Very Invested’ In Billionaire’s ‘Love Life’
Fox News host Jesse Watters on Wednesday played a clip of Michelle Obama and her brother, Craig Robinson, interviewing Brian Chesky, the billionaire CEO of Airbnb, where the former first lady said she was “invested” in the tech mogul’s “love life.”
“Michelle Obama, she already gave Barack a final warning on the last podcast. Now she’s fantasizing about being single with this guy. That’s Brian Chesky, Airbnb CEO, tech billionaire. He’s got a spare room and Michelle is mentally moving in,” Watters said, introducing the clip with guest and fellow Fox host Jimmy Failla:
Obama: “You know, I have to say, Brian, if I’m a single girl out there and I find out that Brian Chesky is single and I can, like, stay in his house, have you ever — “
Robinson: “There she goes. Right to the relations — Brian, you don’t have to feel pressured in.”
Obama: “No, but we’ve never talked about this. Have you ever — “
CHESKY: “Her husband tried to set me up before, so — “
Obama: “Yeah, I’m very invested in Brian’s love life.”
“I did not know Michelle liked white guys,” Watters quipped after playing the short segment.
“Yeah, I was going to say. First there was Barack and Jennifer Aniston,” Failla responded. “Apparently, they are doing this mixed-race thing more than we realized. She’s like, ‘I’ll show you.’”
“But one word to that guy: Nobody in their right mind would rent an Airbnb to her. She complains about everything. She complained about the White House. We did a segment where she complained about life in the White House. Do you know what she would do to your rating as a renter on Airbnb if Michelle Obama was there a half hour? No way,” Failla added.

In a previous episode of their IMO podcast, Robinson revealed he didn’t expect Michelle’s relationship with Barack Obama to last more than a month.
The episode, which focused on dating and featured guest Tracee Ellis Ross, comes amid renewed divorce speculation. Rumors intensified after Michelle opted not to attend the funeral of President Jimmy Carter or President Donald Trump’s inauguration alongside her husband.
“I love talking about dating, because I haven’t done it in decades,” the former first lady said at the top of the podcast, per DailyMail.com.
Robinson said he learned early on from his father “you can really tell a person’s character by how they play pick-up basketball,” adding how Michelle made Craig put Barack to the test early on.
“And I’ve told this story many times about when you first started dating Barack. So Mich starts to date Barack, and we don’t know who this guy is, we’re just like, ‘Barack? Who’s got a name like Barack?’ And I’m thinking it’s gonna last a month like most of your relationships,” Robinson said.
Michelle objected, however, saying, “That’s not true. I’ve had many a long-term boyfriend.”
Robinson then laughed: “I wouldn’t call those guys boyfriends.”
He recalled his first meeting with Barack, mentioning how his mother, the late Marian Robinson, was thrilled that he was tall. “And I said to myself, ‘Too bad it’s not going to last,’” Robinson said.
“But the best part of it was, after we met him and she had been dating him for a little while she said, ‘Would you mind Craig, taking him to play?’ And at first I said, ‘No way, I’m not going to do your dirty work for you. If he turns out to be a bad dude, I’m not going to be the one to say,’” Robinson said.
“Obviously, we had a great time playing,” he added, reporting that Barack had done fine.
The couple has endured speculation for more than a year that their marriage is on the rocks and they are on the verge of divorce, though both have denied the rumors.
