Kylie Kelce may have sounded effortlessly poised during her Not Gonna Lie podcast interview with Michelle Obama—but the reality was far from calm. “I had to wipe my upper lip sweat multiple times. Multiple times. Okay?” Kylie confessed on her April 10 episode, crediting her editing team for trimming her nervous moments. The March conversation, which became a fan favorite, left even Kylie starstruck: “A lot of fans were shocked we got Michelle Obama. Girl, same.”
Michelle’s candid revelations about life post-White House—including her beloved early bedtime routine with Barack—stole the show. “My husband teases me about how early I go to bed,” the former First Lady shared, joking that she fights the urge to retire “before the sun goes down” even with guests over.
Her appearance came amid unfounded divorce rumors, which Michelle addressed head-on during Sophia Bush’s Work in Progress podcast days later. “People couldn’t fathom I was making choices for myself,” she said, reframing solo appearances as self-discovery, not marital strife.
Now navigating her “next chapter,” Michelle is asking: “Who do I truly want to be every day?”—a question that resonates with Kylie’s own authenticity. “I still can’t wrap my head around it,” Kylie admitted of the interview, proving even podcast pros get flustered by icons.
