Former U.S. President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama marked their daughter Sasha Obama’s 24th birthday by sharing a rare family photograph on social media.

The image, posted on both Barack and Michelle Obama’s official Instagram accounts, shows the family — Barack, Michelle, Malia, and Sasha — smiling and embracing one another. The occasion marks a rare public appearance for Sasha, who has largely stayed out of the spotlight since leaving the White House.

Barack Obama, 63, captioned his post: “Happy birthday, Sasha! Watching you grow into the incredible woman you are has been a true gift. I’ll always be proud of you and will always be here for you.” Michelle, 61, echoed the sentiment, writing, “Can’t believe how quickly time has flown. I’m so proud of the woman you’ve become. Love you always!”

Since leaving public office, the Obama daughters have pursued quieter lives. Sasha remains mostly private, while Malia, 26, has stepped into the entertainment industry under the name Malia Ann, dropping her last name in an effort to carve out her own identity.

Michelle Obama recently spoke about this decision on the Sibling Revelry podcast, noting her daughters’ desire to earn their place without relying on the family name. She also revealed that both daughters have sought independence since their teenage years but now better understand their parents’ choices.

This public moment highlights the family’s continued emphasis on privacy, self-reliance, and growth—values they say have guided their daughters into adulthood.
