Their love story
Barack and Michelle’s journey together began in 1989 at a Chicago law firm, where Michelle Robinson was assigned to mentor a young Barack Obama. At first, Michelle reportedly hesitated to date her colleague, but Barack’s persistence and charm eventually won her over.
As per media reports, their first date was simple yet memorable with a stroll around the city, a visit to the Chicago Art Institute, ice cream, and Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing movie. Barack once admitted that the ice cream stop was what truly “sealed the deal.”
Two years later, Barack proposed, and in 1992, the couple tied the knot. Over the years, their family grew with the arrival of their daughters, Malia and Sasha, who became a cherished part of their journey together.
