Former first lady Michelle Obama said husband, Barack, is faced with new challenges now that the couple has moved from the White House.
She conceded the former president has a few issues with the home they purchased in Washington after his presidency.
Her comments came in a Thursday appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show.." It was her first TV interview since leaving the White House."
"He doesn't have enough closet space — sorry," she told host Ellen DeGeneres. "He's got the smallest room for his office. And Sasha actually killed in this house — she has this two-room suite, it's all decked out. She's got a living room area and bedroom. She designed it. So, he's really hating on her."
She added: "We stayed in Washington because Sasha, our youngest, is a junior in high school. We live in the neighborhood, down the street from the White House."
Obama insisted she and the former president are doing great since his presidency ended a year ago.
"The girls are good," she said. "Barack is working. We've got projects going. So, we're staying busy."
