The former U.S. president and first lady are now experiencing life as empty nesters. Their daughters, who have formed a close friendship over the years, recently took that bond a step further by becoming roommates.
Barack and Michelle Obama share two daughters, and online users note how one “looks like her dad,” while the other is a “mini” version of her mom. Now in their 20s, Malia and Sasha Obama have received praise from both parents.
The sisters share a tight-knit relationship that has been their anchor in public life. Almost four years after their father left the presidency, both girls—Malia at 22 and Sasha at 19—were back in their family home during the pandemic.
With their daughters around, the Obamas valued this unexpected time together. Having Malia and Sasha for dinner every night, playing games, and watching movies brought them immense joy.
