The Daily Mail shares that mom and former (forever) first lady Michelle Obama may have dropped the ball about Sasha’s dating life after recently sitting down with daytime television show host Ellen DeGeneres on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
“They both used to love the Jonas Brothers,” Michelle Obama reveals on the show. “Now they’re bringing men home!”
Sasha’s older sister and recent Harvard graduate Malia Obama has also made the move to the west coast after landing a job as a screenwriter for Donald Glover’s latest project with Amazon.
Malia has also been dating British native Rory Farquharson since the two met at Harvard in 2017.
“Before it was just, like, pop bands,” Michelle Obama continued in the interview. “Now they have boyfriends and real lives.”
Well congrats to these two young celebrity lovebirds! Check out photos of the new couple via The Daily Mail.
