Barack and Michelle Obama both shared a photo on social media with their adult daughters, Sasha and Malia, for Sasha's 24th birthday on Tuesday.

Former President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama warmed hearts when they shared the same photo to their respective social media accounts, showing them with their adult daughters, Sasha and Malia, to commemorate Sasha's 24th birthday.

Sasha Obama was born in June 2001, nearly eight years before the family moved into the White House at the start of her father's first term in January 2009. She and her older sister, Malia, now 26, spent their formative years in the presidential residence, growing up there throughout their father’s two terms, until the family departed in 2017.


Taking to Instagram, the former president wrote:

"Happy birthday, Sasha! Watching you grow into the incredible woman you are has been a true gift. I’ll always be proud of you and will always be here for you."

The former First Lady wrote:

"Happy birthday to my sweet girl, Sasha! Can’t believe how quickly time has flown. I’m so proud of the woman you’ve become. Love you always!"

The photo accompanying their respective posts captured the entire Obama family standing close with their arms wrapped around each other. The former president dressed casually in a white polo shirt and gray slacks, while Michelle and their daughters wore summer sundresses.

You can see the Obamas' posts and the photo below.

Sasha Obama graduated from the University of Southern California in May 2023, while Malia Obama, who earned her degree from Harvard in 2021, has since pursued a career in film and television. The Heart, a short film she worked on, premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival.

Earlier this year, Michelle Obama spoke about the family's time in the White House, telling Melinda French Gates on the Moments That Make Us podcast that her daughters "had to be smart and confident and independent straight away, even when they were living in a house with butlers and maids and florists."

The former First Lady emphasized that she raised her daughters to understand that their time in the White House would not be "forever" and that "I've got to hand you your life soon and let you manage it.'"

Lauren Boebert Casts Doubt On Moon Landing During Wild Interview With Conspiracy Theorist

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert was criticized after she seemingly agreed with the conspiracy theory that the moon landing was faked in a wide-ranging interview with conservative conspiracy theorist Alex Stein.

The segment began with the duo casting doubt on nuclear weapons—Boebert even joked about needing "tin foil"—and moved into weirder territory when Stein praised Boebert for "vibing" with him on the topic of the moon landing. Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax.
