Barack and Michelle Obama are full of love for their family.

In honor of Valentine's Day, the couple shared a pair of loving tributes to each other.

"Happy Valentine's Day, @barackobama! Life is always brighter when I'm by your side," Mrs. Obama wrote alongside a photo of the pair together.

In his own post, the former president paid tribute to both his wife as well as their two daughters, Malia, 22, and Sasha, 19.

"Happy Valentine's Day to the three who never fail to make me smile. Your dazzling light makes everything brighter," he wrote alongside a sweet family snap.

Mr. Obama, 59, and Mrs. Obama, 57, have been married since 1992, after they first met in Chicago and began dating.

The Obamas have spent much of the past year in quarantine with their two daughters.. The couple celebrated their 28th wedding anniversary last October.
