Barack Obama Just Posted The Best Throwback Pic To Celebrate Michelle's Birthday (PHOTO)

He also shared the sweetest message ever!
Managing Editor, Canada

Aww, Barack! Michelle Obama’s birthday is on January 17 and her husband just posted the cutest message in honour of the occasion.

In a tweet on his wife’s 57th birthday, the former U.S. president shared an amazing old photo of a younger Michelle.

Alongside the picture, Barack Obama wrote, “Happy birthday to my love, my partner, and my best friend.”

“Every moment with you is a blessing,” he said, before adding, “Love you, Miche.”

It’s not the first time Obama has taken to social media to gush about his wife.

On Mother's Day in 2020, he shared an Instagram post with the message, “Thank you and Happy Mother’s Day to the woman who makes it all possible. Love you.”

On Valentine’s Day last year, he simply wrote, “Happy Valentine’s Day to my forever dance partner.”

The loved-up duo clearly isn’t afraid to share an insight into their life via social networks.

In a super-honest post last year, the former first lady accused incumbent president Donald Trump of spreading “racist lies” about her family and even putting them in danger.
