As a former First Daughter, there’s been interest in who Malia Obama is dating now and what she’s been up to since her family left the White House.

Malia—the eldest daughter of former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama—was last linked to her Harvard University classmate, Rory Farquharson, whom she started dating in 2017 and split from in the past few years. Now, there seems to be a new man in Malia’s life. In photographs obtained by Page Six, Malia, 24, was seen on what seemed to be a date with music producer Dawit Eklund, 33, in Los Angeles. The two were photographed at the Los Angeles Country Museum of Art on August 4, 2022, where Malia was seen in a white crop top and loose-fitting green pants, while Dawit wore a beige T-shirt and green shorts with a photo of Bob Marley on the left leg. The two were also photographed hugging, with Dawit’s hand resting on Malia’s waist as she caressed the back of his neck.
