Barack Obama Shares a New, Rare Family Photo Featuring Malia & Sasha

From Harper's BAZAAR

Former president Barack Obama can't stop raving about his daughters, Malia and Sasha Obama.

In a new cover story for People, the 44th president of the United States shared a rare family photo of himself; his wife, former First Lady Michelle Obama; and their two girls. Captured by Pete Souza, the sweet snap features the whole family smiling and embracing in a warm hug.

Malia, 22, wears a floral-print dress and leaves her hair in long, flowing waves with two face-framing, bohemian-style braids. Sasha, 19, opts for a bright-white cutout sundress and has her hair styled in a sleek, shoulder-length bob. Michelle looks amazing in a striped, belted dress, her hair in fresh curls, while Barack looks like a proud papa in a blue suit.

During his interview for the outlet, the former president revealed that his daughters are finally at a point where their sibling arguments are a thing of the past, and that living together again due to the COVID-19 pandemic has only brought the sisters closer together.

"I think part of what's been also wonderful is seeing Malia and Sasha become such great friends. They've got a three-year gap between them, and when one is 16 and the other one's 13, there's still that sister competition. 'Did you grab my halter top? Where is it? Why haven't you returned it? Why are you doing this, why are you doing that?'" said Obama. "Now they're both old enough, where they just enjoy each other's company, and to be together as a family and see how they've become these marvelous young women—there's been no greater joy than that."
