Barack Obama‘s daughter Sasha Obama is currently dating Clifton Powell who’s a 27 year old writer and director. Powell Jr. is a former basketball player who had a 4 year athletic scholarship. He was given the scholarship from University of California after graduating from Village Christian High School.
Sasha Obama became popular after her father became the president of the US; however, her life was mainly private. Even at the White House, the two daughters of Barack Obama had a disciplined life, and they did not want to be princesses. They carried this even after the presidency ended and tried to live a relatively simpler life away from the limelight. However, since Sasha is a public figure, her love life isn’t hidden from the media. Sasha and her boyfriend have been occasionally photographed together while trying to keep their relationship private.
Both Sasha and Malia live in LA. They have picked different careers for each other. Malia is into writing and directing. While Sasha graduated from Michigan and then from Havard. Sasha has a degree in sociology too from USC. It seems she’s likely to pursue higher education. Earlier, everyone thought she might go in Malia’s footsteps as her name was in the series Couples Therapy. However, she’s back to school. Just like her love life, her career and education are also away from the limelight as she makes her own name in the world.

The duo has been seen strolling around in LA, and it’s speculated the two met when Sasha moved to California University in 2022, as per a report. Both of them look adorable together as they are seen trying to enjoy their low-key romance. Powell Jr. is the son of actor Clifton Powell but he did not grow up to become an actor himself. At first, Powell Jr. was into sports, but his interest moved to directing and writing with his creative flair. His portfolio, which is high-profile, shows he’s hardworking, and big things might be heading his way.

The parents, Michelle and Barack, acknowledge their daughter’s dating life and growing up. They have grown into young women who are like their teen years but still carry that persona into adulthood, as Michelle said. She also reflected in an interview how they used to like the Jonas Brothers growing up, and now it has changed for bringing grown men into the home.
Michelle stated how they have real-life boyfriends now instead of boyband crushes. Obamas have always tried to shield their kids from public scrutiny and remained supportive of them. They still don’t wish harsh media on them and ensure they have a peaceful life.
