Netflix Fans In Tears Over Michelle And Barack's Relationship In New Documentary, 'Becoming'

Anyone who has watched Netflix's new Michelle Obama documentary, Becoming will know it's a bit of a tear jerker.

The doc was released last week on the streaming platform and ever since, fans have been taking to social media to admit it left them in tears.

Viewers were particularly emotional over scenes depicting Barack and Michelle's relationship, with hundreds of fans gushing over their love story.

In one scene, Michelle is discussing her relationship with Barack on stage, during her book tour.

Reflecting on the early stages of their romance, she said: "He was very different and he was different for me and he challenged me in different ways.

"I knew he was a tsunami coming after me and if I didn't get my act together I would be swept up. I didn't just want to be an appendage to his dreams so that forced me to work and think and make decisions like leaving law."

The doc then flicks to a separate scene of Barack arriving on stage to surprise Michelle with a bunch of flowers - and fans just couldn't cope.

He even had a musical performance up his sleeve. "You know when Jay Z comes out in the Beyonce concert," he says, before belting out a quick line from 'Crazy In Love'.

"It's the same thing, just a little sample to enhance the concert," he joked.

Those two. Could we love them more?

One viewer took to Twitter, writing: "When Barack surprised Michelle on stage w those flowers [...] They perfect for each other."

While another said: "Obama brought those flowers out and I am crying #becomingnetflix."

Others agreed it was a "super cute" moment, while one fan added: "So cute when President Obama pops up with flowers for Mrs Obama during her show."

Others, meanwhile, took to Twitter to explain they couldn't stop crying throughout the documentary, which provides an inside glimpse into the life of the former First Lady.

The inspiring and moving film takes viewers behind the scenes of Michelle's 34-city book tour, which promoted her memoir - also called Becoming - which was released in 2018.

The memoir details Michelle's life from childhood, through to education, her career and her time in the White House as well as touching on her relationship with Barack.

If you haven't already, you can watch the documentary now on Netflix - but be warned, there'll probably be tears.
