Michelle and Barack Obama share rare photos of daughter Sasha to mark her 23rd birthday
Michelle and Barack Obama took to social media to celebrate their youngest daughter Sasha’s 23rd birthday with heartfelt tributes and rare photos. Michelle shared a touching photo of herself and Sasha embracing on what appears to be a rooftop balcony. In the picture, Sasha looks stunning in a colorful, flowy midi dress and rainbow platform heels, while Michelle looks comfortable in a sheer black top and pants. Michelle captioned the photo with a loving message, “You make me so incredibly proud.”
Sasha and Malia Obama were just 7 and 10 years old, respectively, when their family entered the White House.
During an interview with “Good Morning America” to discuss her book, “The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times” in 2022, Michelle gushed over her daughters, calling them “grown women.”
“They’re doing great. Proud of them. They survived eight years growing up in one of the harshest spotlights there is,” said Michelle at the time. “And they are good, decent, normal young women who are trying to be impactful in the world, and they are the best of friends. Couldn’t ask for anything else.”
Barack, on the other hand, chose to post a throwback photo of himself and a young Sasha sitting together on a lawn. The former president captioned the photo with a sweet message, “Happy birthday, Sasha! I’m so proud of the woman you’ve become and all that you’ve accomplished. You’re just getting started!”
Sasha, who graduated from the University of Southern California in 2023, is currently based in Los Angeles and is living with her older sister, Malia. The Obama sisters have remained incredibly close despite their extraordinary upbringing in the White House.
The Obamas have always been protective of their daughters’ privacy, so these rare glimpses into their personal lives are especially heartwarming for fans.
