*Michelle and Barack Obama’s daughters, Malia and Sasha are living together in Los Angeles as they pursue their careers.
Despite their independence, Michelle revealed on “The Jennifer Hudson Show” on Tuesday (Dec. 17) that she and Barack still provide financial support to their daughters.
“They’re women in the world. Living on their own. Paying rent… ish,” she told Jennifer, adding: “They live together.”
Michelle later reflected on raising Malia, 26, and Sasha, 23, saying, “I’ve loved every phase of raising my daughters. I loved them when they were in my lap and so cute – the comfort, the cuddles,” she shared. “And now, they’re just grown. They’re more raising me. But they are amazing. Sasha’s in school, Malia has a budding career in film.”

“They are smart, they are funny. They’re wise in their own ways and I love spending time with them – they’re doing great. They’re really good” Michelle continued.
Meanwhile, Barack Obama recently revealed on The Pivot Podcast that Sasha and Malia are working to establish their careers independently of their famous last name. He reacted to Malia crediting herself as “Malia Ann” in her 2023 directorial debut “The Heart,” which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.
“Her first film went to Sundance and all these fancy film festivals and she didn’t use ‘Obama’ as a director on the credits,” he said.
“I was all like, ‘You do know they’ll know who you are.’ And she’s all like, ‘You know what? I want them to watch it that first time and not in any way have that association,’” Barack added.
“So I think our daughters [will] go out of their way to not try to leverage that,” he continued. “The challenge for us is letting us give them any help at all,” Obama noted.
