Michelle Obama is celebrating husband Barack in honor of his 63rd birthday.
On Sunday, Aug. 4, the former first lady shared a post on Instagram, in which she included a photo of the couple pushing a large boulder in unison while surrounded by stone during a trip together.
“Happy birthday to the love of my life, @BarackObama,” Michelle, 60, captioned the post. “Here’s to weathering all of life’s storms and moving mountains together. ❤️.”
She also shared the same photo on X (formerly Twitter).
In the comments section of the Instagram post, many extended their birthday wishes to the politician, including Chelsea Handler, Cynthia Bailey and Debi Mazar.
Over a week before his birthday, the former president and first lady offered their support to Democratic presidential candidate and current Vice President Kamala Harris following Joe Biden’s decision to drop out of the presidential race.
The Harris campaign released a video on Friday, July 26, in which the couple called Harris on the phone and could be heard endorsing her.
“I can’t have this phone call without saying to my girl Kamala: I am proud of you. This is going to be historic,” Michelle said in the video, as Barack added: “Michelle and I couldn’t be prouder to endorse you and do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office.”
In the full transcript of the phone call, obtained by PEOPLE, Barack told the presidential hopeful that she must “earn not just the nomination but earn the trust of folks all across this country” in order to be elected come November, as she faces competition in former president Donald Trump.
The Obamas, who celebrated their 31st wedding anniversary last October, share daughters Malia, 25, and Sasha, 22.
Speaking at a fundraising event with Biden and Jimmy Kimmel at Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater on June 15, the former president said his daughters will “never” be president when asked by the late night host.
“That is a question I do not need to answer, because Michelle drilled into them so early that you would be crazy to go into politics,” Barack responded. “It’ll never happen.”
His daughters, who he called “powerful young women” during the June appearance, have discovered their own paths since their dad departed the White House in 2017.
Malia has been pursuing a career in the entertainment industry, while in May 2023, Sasha graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in sociology.
