What does Michelle Obama think of her daughters’ dating?
Former US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle have always been protective of their two daughters’ privacy, ever since the First Family moved into the White House – and therefore the spotlight – as children. Even now, with Malia aged 24 and Sasha aged 21, the family is still very private, often refusing to be drawn on personal issues. Yet being adults, attending university, and making their first steps into the world of work, numerous stories have popped up around the two Obama girls, including rumors of boyfriends.
Now, in a surprising move, Michelle Obama has spoken candidly for the first time about seeing her daughters with boyfriends. Speaking on the Ellen DeGeneres show, she lamented that the last time she was interviewed by the chat show host, her children were more interested in the Jonas Brothers, but now they have serious relationships of their own. ‘Now they’re bringing grown men home,’ she said. ‘Now they have boyfriends and real lives and all that stuff. They have grown up right before our very eyes and they are doing well.’
Despite the omission, Michelle did still remain discreet when it came to divulging further details about her daughters’ boyfriends, including their names.
In 2017, it was reported that Malia was dating Rory Farquharson, a British student attending Harvard alongside her, although it is not known if they are still a couple. The son of Charles and Catherine Farquharson – the chief executive of a London investment firm and an accountant, respectively – he attended the £11,584-a-term boarding school, Rugby, where he represented the school in sports teams and science clubs and even became Head Boy in his final year.
He’s even got a distant royal connection, with a second cousin, Andrew Farquharson, previously working as Assistant Master of the Household at Buckingham Palace, before being transferred to Clarence House, where he was made redundant in 2009 during cutbacks.
Where are Sasha and Malia Obama now?
During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in April 2022, Michelle Obama gave the world an update on her daughters.
She explained that the girls now have boyfriends and are out of the house but revealed that the quality time they got during the Covid-19 pandemic will always be cherished.
“It was an extra special treat to have them. That little bit of time. Because being with them as adults, it’s fun!” Michelle said.
She continued: “I love them at every age.”
Michelle then went on to add that her daughters are not only “doing well,” but they are also “just amazing young women” in general.
“They loved the Jonas Brothers. Now they are bringing grown men home,” Michelle joked.
“Before it was just, like, pop bands. Now they have boyfriends and real lives.”
In March of 2021, it was reported that Malia, 23, had landed a television gig working in Hollywood.
She reportedly started working alongside Donald Glover as a writer for his show Atlanta.
Malia is also in a relationship with Rory Farquharson, who was quarantined at the Obama home.
While Malia has started her career, Sasha is still studying at the University of Michigan.
