Former president and first lady of the United States, Barack and Michelle Obama, have long been hailed as one the world's strongest power couples.
The pair, who tied the knot back in 1992, have enjoyed an impressive 33 years of marriage together and it's clear that even after all those decades that the Obamas' love for one another is still going strong.
Such a fact was made evident following Michelle's recent comments made on today's episode (20 March) of Kylie Kelce's Not Gonna Lie podcast where she gave a candid admission about her and her hubby's bedtime routine.

"Bedtime is the best time of day," the mum-of-two said in a teaser clip shared to Instagram. "My husband teases me about how early I can go to bed."
She added: "He just doesn't understand. The idea of getting into some good sheets, and it's cool."
The 61-year-old Becoming author went on to joke that even when she and Barack, 63, have guests over, she's ready for bed right after they say their goodbyes.
"If we've got people in the house, I'm game, I'm there, I'm up. I'm in it, I'm laughing, I'm talking," she revealed before confessing: "But, you know, the minute we finish up, I'm just trying not to go to bed before the sun goes down."
And, when asked her ideal bedtime, Michelle noted it was simply 'any time after dinner'.
Offering fans a further glimpse into how she developed such a nighttime routine, Michelle explained that it all came about when her daughters Sasha, 23, and Malia, 26, were still little.
"The girls, they were good sleepers," she explained. "Bath time 7:00, bedtime 7:30, and then I had at least a couple hours where nobody was asking me for anything."
She added: "Maybe that's where I got the early bedtime from."
And it's not just bedtimes where the Obamas differ as Michelle previously revealed her husband's, let's just say, unique approach to punctuality.
Speaking on her new podcast IMO just last week (11 March), she admitted that timekeeping was not always his strong suit.
"Barack, you know, he had to adjust to what 'on time' was for me," she shared, noting how their definitions of being ready for an event were worlds apart.
However, the pair figured out a process in the end as she resolved: "He’s improved over 30 years of marriage, but that was a 'you must adjust'."
