We love to see our forever President Barack Obama living a stress-free life these days after serving our country for eight years, but just like the rest of us, now that he’s living like a private citizen again, he had to quarantine due to the pandemic.
Now that he’s living his best life, he’s spilling all his tea, respectively, and doing a lot more interviews about his personal life. He shared on a recent episode of “The Bill Simmons Podcast” that his eldest daughter Malia’s British boyfriend, Rory Farquharson, stayed with their family for a while during the first few months of the pandemic.
“Maybe teaching Malia and Sasha, and Malia’s boyfriend who was with us for a while, spades and then having some spades games. And teaching them how to properly trash talk and slam the cards down,” Barack Obama said when asked about what was the most fun he had during quarantine.

Obama shared that Rory grew on him as they spent more time together and explained why Rory was allowed to stay with the Obamas while things were on lockdown. “There was this whole visa thing, he had a job set up, and so we took him in,” Obama said. “And I didn’t want to like him, but he’s a good kid.”
Obama also made mention that having Rory with them also ran up their food bill but he didn’t seem too upset about it.
“The only thing you discover, this is not a surprise to you Bill because you’ve got a son, young men eat. It’s weird to watch them consume food. And my grocery bill went up about 30 percent,” he said with a laugh.
Like lots of families, Barack shared he and Michelle were thrilled to have their girls back in the house with them.
“It’s a blessing because all the teenage stuff is kind of gone now. They’re just back and they love you again and they wanna spend time with you again,” he said. “I think a lot of families we went through that first month where we were playing games every night, doing arts and crafts projects and then, slowly, they started to get a little bored with us.”
