The daughters were used to a normal life, which was turned upside down when they moved into the White House at the age of ten and seven. Although it was a big change, Barack and Michelle tried their best to keep the children as normal as possible.
Since then, the two daughters have kept a low profile. Now they have grown up, started studying and got boyfriends.

– Wonderful women
On Tuesday, the former first lady was a guest «The Ellen DeGeneres Show»where she reveals more details about how her daughters Malia and Sasha are doing today.
In the interview, Michelle talks about, among other things, that both daughters have now moved out of the nest – again. It writes among others Entertainment Tonight and Hollywood Life.
– It was extra special to have them at home when the family had to be quarantined together. Because it’s fun to be with them as adults. I love them at all ages, she says, adding that they are now studying at university and are wonderful young women.
Furthermore, she reminisces back to when her daughters were younger and big fans of the former pop band «Jonas Brothers». She makes no secret of the fact that things have changed, and now it’s all about something completely different.
– They loved “Jonas Brothers”. Now they take grown men home. Before, the focus was only on the pop band. Now they have boyfriends and live real lives, she says with a twinkle in her eye.

– They had to learn
There is no doubt that Michelle is proud of her daughters.
– I listened to what my mother said when she raised us. She said: “I do not raise babies, I raise real people to be out in the world.” And I had it in mind with the girls, she admits.
In the interview, she follows up that it was very important for her to teach Malia and Sasha that they would not always be in the so-called bubble in the White House.
– They had to learn to make their beds, they had to learn to drive a car, learn to be compassionate, independent, responsible people. So that they came into the world as responsible, compassionate, capable people. And I think they are wonderful young women because of that, Michelle explains.

When asked what her husband, former President Barack Obama, had done after his life in the White House, she answers the following:
– He is pretty good at golf now and plays a lot of it. But he is not so good at picking up after himself, because he had a lot of help before. He thinks he is good at it, but he has only gotten worse, she reveals.
