According to the NY Post, Michelle and Buhle’s friendship goes way back, and Hunter even talks about it in his 2021 memoir, Beautiful Things, saying they had “worked out together at the gym and often had evening cocktails at the White House, at both formal and informal events”.

Two things can be true”.
