Malia Obama was all smiles during a sunny lunch date in Los Angeles, and her companion definitely caught attention. The 26-year-old was seen leaving a restaurant with Greek journalist and photographer Achilleas Ambatzidis.
Malia, the oldest daughter of Barack and Michelle Obama, was happily chatting with Achilleas, who looks a lot like Hollywood actor Penn Badgley from Gossip Girl, thanks to his beard and dark, floppy hair.
It’s unclear what the relationship between them is, but since moving to LA and starting her career in film, Malia has made a lot of new connections.
She graduated from Harvard University and then turned her attention to working in the entertainment industry.
Achilleas also lives in Los Angeles, but his Instagram shows that he often visits his home country
He co-created Chuck Magazine, which is sold in both Los Angeles and New York.
Malia was previously linked to music producer Dawit Eklund, and before that, she dated her Harvard classmate Rory Farquharson.
Her mom, Michelle Obama, has talked about Malia and her sister’s dating lives during an interview on Good Morning America.
“They’re doing great,” Michelle said at the time. “I’m proud of them. They grew up under a really tough spotlight for eight years and turned out to be good, kind, and normal young women who want to make a difference in the world. Plus, they are best friends. I couldn’t ask for anything more.”
She also understands that Malia and her sister Sasha want to enjoy dating and have fun with it.
“I think it’s great,” Michelle said. “I want them to figure out what they want and who they are in a relationship, and that means dating different people.”
When asked how Barack feels about them having boyfriends, she admitted he’s “handling it well,” and added: “They were 24 and 21 at the time. They went to prom, had high school experiences, and lived life. He’s learned how to be a protective dad without going overboard.”
They’re proud of both of their daughters and the future they’re building, especially since they’ve stayed away from politics.
At a big fundraiser for President Joe Biden in Los Angeles, someone asked the former President if his daughters would follow his path. Here’s what he said:
“That’s a question I don’t even need to answer because Michelle made sure early on to tell them that going into politics is a crazy idea. It’s never going to happen.”
Mom Sells Old Stroller to Feed 4 Kids, Finds It on Her Doorstep the Next Day with Note Inside – Story of the Day
Anne Sargent sat alone on her kitchen floor, tears streaming down her cheeks in the silence of midnight. It was the only time she allowed herself to feel the weight of her sorrow, the pain of being abandoned by her husband, Derek, while carrying their fourth child. Her heart ached for her unborn baby and for the three children sleeping upstairs, dependent on her for everything.
Just two months ago, Anne had been blissfully happy, anticipating the arrival of her new baby. Derek’s abrupt departure shattered that happiness, leaving her to grapple with feelings of confusion and betrayal. He had walked in one night, his face twisted with anger, and declared he was leaving. “All you did was have babies and fuss over them!” he had yelled, as if the love she poured into their family had somehow suffocated him.
Now, with limited resources and mounting bills, Anne took on a part-time job at a local grocery store, determined to provide for her children. She began selling family heirlooms to make ends meet—first the antique china, then a cherished silver brush-and-mirror set. But soon, she found herself at the end of her options, facing the heartbreaking decision to sell the vintage stroller that had been passed down through generations.
With a heavy heart, she brought the stroller to the flea market, hoping to get a few dollars for it. When a dealer offered her $50, it felt like a lifeline, albeit a small one. Little did she know, this would not be the end of the stroller’s story.
Two days later, Anne was surprised to find the stroller returned to her porch, along with an envelope containing a message from Grace, a woman who claimed to know Derek. When they met, the truth spilled out—Grace had been Derek’s girlfriend, unaware of Anne and the children. She had bought the stroller in excitement, wanting to celebrate their future family together. But when Derek learned the truth, he erupted in anger, ultimately sending Grace away.
Anne felt a mix of compassion and sorrow for Grace, who was now homeless and pregnant herself. Without hesitation, Anne offered her a place to stay, recognizing that they both needed each other. Grace’s experience with children and Anne’s need for support created an unexpected partnership.
Together, they formed a new family dynamic, sharing responsibilities and raising their children. Anne’s opportunity to manage the grocery store opened up when Grace stepped in to help with the kids after school, allowing Anne to work full-time.
As their friendship deepened, they celebrated each other’s pregnancies, supporting one another through the challenges of motherhood. When Anne’s baby was born, Grace was right there beside her, and vice versa.
Meanwhile, Derek, having struggled with his choices and relationships, eventually found his way back to Anne’s door. But when he saw the new life she had built with Grace and their children, he was met with a firm rejection. “Sorry, so not interested!” Anne declared, finally free from the shadow of his betrayal.
In this new chapter, Anne and Grace embraced their unconventional family, filled with laughter, love, and resilience. Together, they forged a path forward, proving that family can take many forms, and that support often comes from the most unexpected places.
