Posted byBy Nicole Duncan-Smith | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Barack and Michelle Obama’s oldest daughter Malia Obama was recently seen out with a new mystery man, sparking speculation about her relationship status.

The rising filmmaker and Hollywood producer was photographed leaving a restaurant in the Larchmont area of Los Angeles on Saturday, Sept. 28. in a flick that was featured on TheList.com.

Naturally, this came with a flurry of curiosity, leaving many wondering if the duo’s casual stroll was just friendly or something more romantic.

Fans are eagerly speculating: Was this just a hangout, or could it be a date?

The 26-year-old, known for her chic sense of style, was pictured sporting an uber casual bohemian look. Her bronze skin glowed under long, brown braids that cascaded nearly to her waist.

Malia rocked a checkered a green and navy SC103 crossbody bag swung over her bright tangerine graphic baby tee, layered over a crisp white button-up shirt peeking beneath. She paired the look with a stylish double-pleated, below-the-knee gray skirt from Dunst. Her footwear stood out as well — a pair of gray socks tucked into black patent leather hiking boots from the 1017 Alyx 9SM x ROA collaboration.

As usual, her brightest accessory was her radiant smile next to Achilleas Ambatzidis, journalist and co-creator of Chuck Magazine. He complimented her, keeping it effortlessly cool with black sunglasses, a matching black top, and a pair of rugged 2002r New Balances. His face was barely revealed as he sported a full beard, mustache and flouncy hair.

Malia has been linked to very few men since dating her college beau Rory Farquharson.

In 2022, the Harvard graduate was rumored to have dated Ethiopian music producer, Dawit Eklund, according to Hello Magazine.

At the end of 2023, she was spotted having sushi with “Limbo” rapper Aminé.

According to Hollywood Life, the two linked up previously in 2017 after she attended the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago. At the time, he was riding high off of his hit song “Caroline,” which landed at the No. 11 spot on Billboards’ Hot 100 song chart.

Aminé said of the eldest daughter of former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, “She was a super-normal, cool, regular American teen.”

The reality is she is not a “regular American teen.” She is a beloved first daughter and that makes a difference, especially when it comes down to who is keeping her company.

Their mom has spoken about how she feels regarding her daughters dating.

“I want them to know what they want and who they are in a relationship. And that takes trying on some people,” she said in an interview with “Good Morning America.”

Michelle also added that her husband also “is good with” with them dating.

“Look, he’s learned how to be a concerned Black father, but not crazy,” she said of the first African-American president of the United States.

Now the rest of the country has to learn how not to be crazy about the young ladies dating — as hard as that might be.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
