Barack Obama celebrated his wife, Michelle Obama, on her birthday via a sweet post on social media.
On Tuesday, the former President of the United States took his birthday greeting to Instagram. He shared a photo of himself with the former First Lady in his arms as they watched the sunset.
In the caption, the 61-year-old politician wrote, “Happy Birthday,” and tagged his wife’s official account. He noted, “You make every day brighter,” before adding, “and somehow keep looking better!”
The post has amassed over 1.2 million likes, with more than 12,700 comments from netizens who shared their respective greetings.

The publication also said the former First Lady reposted the sweet greeting from her husband on her Instagram Story. In the post, she added a “love you” sticker, which seemingly served as a response to his tribute.
The “Becoming” author later thanked everyone for all the greetings she received on her birthday via Twitter. She said, “Thank you all for the birthday love. I say this a lot, and I mean it - I love you back, and I am so grateful for you supporting me during every step of my journey.”
