Michelle and Oprah go way back. Like, when Barack was just a senator from Illinois back. In a 2011 behind-the-scenes clip from The Oprah Winfrey Show, the OWN founder opened up about her friendship with Michelle, saying, "I consider myself to be a friend of the first lady and the president." While Barack was president, Michelle made multiple appearances on Oprah's show and Oprah even interviewed her for O magazine.
And we're glad to see they're still close! Not only did Oprah help Michelle kick off her Becoming book tour in late 2018, but during the author's November 2018 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Michelle revealed that she and Oprah text all the time.
