“Don’t make me cry at the beginning of the show,” the former president joked as Michelle welcomed him on set warmly with a hug.

Barack praised Michelle’s work on her show, saying, “Of course I’ve been listening to the show. You’re doing great.”

Michelle, visibly touched, smiled and replied, “Thank you, honey. And that’s why we’re married for.”

The couple, who have been married since 1992, have never shied away from discussing the realities of long-term commitment including the highs, lows, and the effort it takes to maintain a partnership in the public eye.

“We’ve had some really hard times and fun times, adventures and I have become a better person because of the man I’m married to,” Michelle stated.
