Sasha Obama's Boyfriend Clifton Powell Jr. Was Seen Out Bonding With Sister Malia

When Michelle Obama revealed that youngest daughter Sasha Obama, 20, had a serious boyfriend on national TV, people assumed it was just a young college romance. In reality, it looks like Clifton Powell Jr. is quite comfortable with the Obama family since he was seen spending time with older sister Malia Obama in Los Angeles this week.

Malia sported an ode to her home city, Chicago, with a gray White Sox t-shirt and baggy jeans while Powell kept it casual in a navy-blue tracksuit. (See the DailyMail photos HERE.) They seemed pretty comfortable with each other — no awkwardness in sight — as they strolled through the park and eventually stopped so Malia could take a cigarette break. This makes us think that Sasha’s romance isn’t a new one since Malia and Powell seemed so relaxed and casual hanging out together.
