Michelle Obama is content with being a mother of two.

The former first lady, who shares daughters Malia Obama, 26, and Sasha Obama, 23, with her husband, former president Barack Obama, got candid with Kylie Kelce about her and Barack’s differing opinions on the size of their family on the March 20 episode of Kelce’s Not Gonna Lie podcast.

“I was like, I think I’ve

been lucky with these two,” Michelle said of Malia and Sasha. “Barack was like, ‘We should have a third,’ and I was like, ‘Dude.’ ”

Kylie, 32, who is currently pregnant with her fourth 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 with husband Jason Kelce, noted of Michelle’s girls, “Two good sleepers, I’d call it too.”

The Becoming author agreed, adding, “You know, I’m thinking we’re gonna get a crazy one.”

Michelle went on Not Gonna Lie to promote her own new podcast, IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson, which aims to have “thoughtful conversations about life” with special guests.

Getting candid with Kylie about her fears from early motherhood, Michelle said, “I think the sadness or the postpartum that I felt with my kids really came from, like, you love these babies so much. You immediately, you’re connected, and you think, ‘Oh my god, all you have is me. I feel so bad for you. I wish you had a parent.’ ”

Michelle and Kylie, who are both mothers to girls, also quipped about their husbands being girl dads.

“That’s because that’s what your husband deserved,” Michelle told Kylie. “That’s what I told Barack, ‘Dude, you need a bunch of women in your life to smack you around.’ ”

And while she’s been approached about running for president countless times, Michelle added that she’d never consider it, due mostly to her role as a mother.

“I wanted them to have the freedom of not having the eyes of the world on them,” she explained. “And so when people ask me would I ever run, the answer is no. If you ask me that, then you have absolutely no idea the sacrifice that your kids make when your parents are in that role.”

Noting that she’s “not interested in politics in that way,” the author added, “The thought of, like, putting my girls back into that spotlight when they are just now establishing themselves. I think we’ve done enough … they’ve already served their time.”
