Michelle Obama reveals her favorite HGTV shows for unwinding at home
Michelle Obama has shared her love for HGTV shows as a way to unwind. Among her favourites are House Hunters—especially the international version—and Rock the Block. The former First Lady enjoys the simple pleasure of seeing homes transform and people find their perfect spaces.
Obama finds comfort in the familiar structure of House Hunters. The show's predictable format and the chance to peek inside different homes help her relax. She particularly enjoys House Hunters International, where buyers often discover luxurious properties at lower prices in countries with a stronger exchange rate for the U.S. dollar. Watching with friend Amy Poehler, she appreciates how far a budget can stretch abroad.
Another favourite is Rock the Block, where teams compete to renovate homes. Obama admires the dramatic before-and-after reveals, which showcase creativity and craftsmanship. The next season of the show is expected to air later this year, giving fans like her something new to look forward to.
For Obama, these programmes offer a break from daily stress. The mix of design, travel, and transformation keeps her entertained. With Rock the Block returning soon, she'll have even more episodes to enjoy.
