Sasha Obama was born in June 2001, nearly eight years before the family moved into the White House for the former president's first term in January 2009. She and her older sister Malia Obama, now 26, grew up in the presidential home for eight years, during their father's two terms in office, until 2017.

Before moving to Washington, D.C., the Obamas spent their early years in Chicago, where Barack served as a state senator after marrying Michelle on Oct. 3, 1992. The pair welcomed their first child, daughter Malia, on July 4, 1998, while their second daughter, Sasha, was born on June 10, 2001.
