It has been revealed that Sasha Obama, the 20-year-old daughter of former US President Barack Obama, is dating Clifton Powell Jr., who is 24 years old. This news came after her mother Michelle Obama mentioned on The Ellen Show that her daughters have boyfriends now.
Sasha and Clifton made their relationship public this week, and recent photos show the couple looking happy while spending time together.
Clifton Jr., standing at six-foot-five-inches, is the son of acclaimed actor Clifton Powell, 66.

Aside from his basketball success, the 24-year-old is also a former college basketball star who now works as a commercial director, creating content for brands like Nike and Peloton.
He was formerly close friends with Ian Alexander Jr., the only son of Powell’s Ray co-star Regina King, who tragically took his own life in January at age 25.
The couple is believed to have started dating after Sasha relocated to Los Angeles, where Clifton is based, in August. This move came after she left her studies at the University of Michigan to pursue a course at the University of Southern California.
