Sasha Obama and Clifton Powell Jr. seem to be getting serious in their relationship. They started dating in 2022 and have kept their romance private and mostly away from the public eye.
In an interview on the “Dear Fathers” podcast, Clifton Powell, the dad of Clifton Powell Jr., talked about his son’s relationship with Sasha Obama, the youngest daughter of Barack and Michelle Obama. He mentioned that they had been dating for a year before their relationship became public, which gave him a chance to teach his son important values.
Clifton Sr. said, “It has helped me talk to my son about how to treat Sasha Obama because we really like the Obamas. I need to make sure my son is responsible, kind, loving, and supportive.” He often reminds his son to be a gentleman and to take care of Sasha. He texts him regularly, saying, “Treat Sasha like you would want someone to treat your daughter.” This advice makes sense, especially since Clifton Jr. is dating someone so well-known.
Is Clifton and Sasha’s romance Obama-approved?
Dating a former first daughter can be tricky, but Clifton Powell Jr. seems to manage it well. It looks like he has the Obamas’ approval. In a 2022 interview with “Good Morning America,” Michelle Obama openly talked about her daughters’ dating lives.
Michelle Obama thinks it’s “wonderful” that Sasha and Malia Obama are exploring different relationships and looking for partners. She said, “I want them to know what they want and who they are in a relationship, and that takes trying out different people.” Barack is “good with it” too. Michelle added, “They’re in their 20s. They went to prom and have lived their lives.” She mentioned that Barack has learned to be a caring dad without being overprotective.
Clifton Powell Jr. also seems to have passed the “sister test.” Malia was seen spending time with him shortly after it became known that he was dating Sasha. The two were spotted walking and talking in a Los Angeles park, appearing relaxed despite the paparazzi nearby.
Is Clifton the one?
Before dating Clifton Powell Jr., Sasha Obama was rumored to be dating Matt Metzler. They sparked dating rumors in 2017 when they were seen kissing at the Lollapalooza Music Festival, but it was unclear if they were officially a couple. After that, Sasha started dating Powell Jr. in 2022, and they have been together ever since.
It looks like Sasha’s parents support her relationship. In a 2022 appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” Michelle Obama talked openly about her daughter’s dating life, saying, “Now they are bringing home grown men. Before, it was just pop bands. Now they have boyfriends and real lives.”
As for whether Clifton Powell Jr. is the right match for Sasha Obama, it’s hard to say what the future will bring. However, it’s nice to see that they are enjoying their time together like any other young couple.
JENNIFER ANISTON PRAISED FOR SHOWING OFF ‘GORGEOUS’ GREY HAIR: ‘REFRESHING’
The Friends star was praised by fans after showcasing her natural hair colour on Instagram for the first time, with many branding it “refreshing”.
Just call it “The One With the Grey Hair.”
Jennifer Aniston is earning praise on Instagram for embracing her natural silver strands in a post announcing the latest launch from her haircare brand, LolaVie.
The 54-year-old’s new Intensive Repair Treatment is meant to be used once a week after shampooing to “reduce breakage and repair the look of existing damage while protecting from future damage,” per the product description.
“Sleep in it, an hour, whatever you want,” the Murder Mystery star recommended in an Instagram Reel.
Fans expressed their excitement over the launch in the comments section — and applauded Aniston for not hiding her own grey roots.
“Well done for allowing grey to come through – refreshing,” one wrote.
“So nice to see. And she’s obviously still gorgeous,” someone replied.
“I hope she stays natural – it’s much more attractive,” a third enthused.
Aniston has been famous for her luscious locks since her Friends days, having made “The Rachel” — her character’s signature shoulder-length, layered ‘do — a national sensation in the ’90s.
But these days, the Morning Show star doesn’t shy away from showing off her natural hair.
In November, Jen struck a post-shower pose on Instagram before styling her damp waves with a little help from LolaVie.
Aniston announced the launch of LolaVie in 2021. Now, the popular celebrity beauty brand even counts fellow Brad Pitt ex Gwyneth Paltrow as a fan.
