Michelle Obama is perfectly happy being a girl mom.

“I’m so glad I didn’t have a boy,” the former first lady joked while discussing the challenges that come with raising young men during Wednesday’s episode of her and brother Craig Robinson’s “IMO” podcast.

Radio personality Angie Martinez, who was a guest on the episode, told Obama that she “should’ve [thrown] a boy in the mix,” referring to the 61-year-old’s family with husband Barack Obama, 63, and daughters Malia, 26, and Sasha, 24, but Michelle disagreed.

“He would have been a Barack Obama,” she explained.

“Baby Barack, it would’ve been amazing,” Martinez insisted, to which Michelle responded, “No, I would’ve felt for him.”

Robinson revealed that Michelle often “borrowed our boys” — referring to his own children — whenever she needed a fix, and she confirmed she “got plenty.”

While Michelle is content with their daughters, the former president — who served two consecutive terms in the White House from 2008 to 2016 — initially wanted another child.

“You’re doing it a fourth time. I just had to stop,” Michelle said on Kylie Kelce’s “Not Gonna Lie” podcast in March, referring to the host’s then-pregnancy with daughter Finn.

“I was like, ‘I think I’ve been lucky with these two.’ Barack was like, ‘We should have a third,’ and I was like, ‘Dude.'”

“I’m thinking, ‘We’re gonna get a crazy one.’ It’s just the role of the dice. So, I admire your courage,” she added during the discussion.

Along with Finn, Kylie and husband Jason Kelce share daughters Wyatt, 5, Ellie, 4, and Bennett, 2.

“What I told Barack [was that it’s] karma was like, ‘Dude, you need a bunch of women in your life to smack you around,” Michelle further joked.

“[Jason] and Barack need to talk.”

Michelle’s confession about not wanting a son comes after she was forced to address divorce speculation due to her decision not to attend President Donald Trump’s second inauguration in January alongside her husband.

“My decision to skip the inauguration, you know, what people don’t realize, or my decision to make choices at the beginning of this year that suited me, were met with such ridicule and criticism,” she said on her podcast in April.

“Like, people couldn’t believe that I was saying no for any other reason, that they had to assume that my marriage was falling apart, you know?”

She continued, “It’s like, while I’m here really trying to own my life and intentionally practice making the choice that was right for me. It took everything in my power [not to do] the thing that was perceived as right, but do the things that [were] right for me.”
