Barack Obama turned 63 this weekend, and with it came some joyful moments amidst the usual whirlwind of American politics.
Michelle Obama shared a heartwarming post for her husband’s birthday, including a never-before-seen photo of them hiking together. In the photo, Michelle wears black leggings and a tank top while Barack rocks a sporty black-and-white outfit. They both had on matching hats and pretended to push a big rock, the sky bright blue above them.
“Happy birthday to the love of my life, @BarackObama!” Michelle wrote in her caption. “Here’s to facing life’s storms and moving mountains together. ❤️”
Every year, the Obamas share loving messages with each other online. Last year for their 31st anniversary, Michelle posted another sweet note saying, “31 years, and a lifetime to go. I love going through life with you by my side, @BarackObama. Happy anniversary, honey! ❤️.” Barack also chimed in on his account with: “Happy anniversary, sweetheart! @MichelleObama, you’re brilliant, kind, funny, and beautiful—and I’m lucky to call you mine.”

Even with their picture-perfect image though, they’ve faced tough times too. In December 2022 during an interview at Revolt TV’s panel featuring Kelly Rowland and others, Michelle talked about marriage difficulties when their daughters Malia (25) and Sasha (23) were young.
She confessed how there were ten years where she found it hard to be around Barack due to career struggles and raising kids simultaneously. She humorously added that marriage isn’t always balanced: “Sometimes I’m putting in 70%, while he’s at 30%, other times he’s at 60%, I’m at 40%. But I’d take ten tough years over thirty any day—it’s all about perspective.”
