Michelle Obama Reveals Daughters Sasha and Malia Both Have Boyfriends

In February 2021, it was revealed that Malia had joined the writers room of Donald Glover‘s upcoming Amazon show.

Calling her two daughters “amazing young women,” Michelle noted that she raised Sasha and Malia with the same philosophy she learned from her mother: “I’m not raising babies; I’m raising real people to be out in the world.”  

“I kept that in mind with the girls. They wouldn’t always be in that bubble of the White House, so they had to learn how to make their beds. They had to learn how to drive,” she explained. “They had to learn how to be compassionate, independent, responsible people so that they entered the world as responsible, compassionate, capable people. I think they are amazing young women because of that.” 

The Waffles + Mochi creator also revealed that it was an “extra-special treat” to have both of her kids at home during quarantine at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. “Being with them as adults—it’s fun,” Michelle shared. “I love them at every age.”
