As reported in the Daily Mail, Sasha Obama’s boyfriend in Clifton Powell Jr. The outlet posted photos of the couple walking around Los Angeles together, along with an exclusive pic of the happy couple cuddling.
While the details of how and where they met remain a mystery, it seems likely they got to know each other after Sasha switched schools and moved to the West Coast.
Also known by his nicknames, “Cliff” and “CP3,” Powell spent time as a student at the University of California at Santa Barbara, per Daily Mail. While he began his college career with a four-year scholarship to play basketball, Powell quickly realized his ambitions were elsewhere, and he spent less than a year on the court.
Although his UC Santa Barbara Gauchos bio stated he desired a career in broadcasting, Powell turned his focus toward writing instead. Like Sasha’s older sister, Malia, he now works in the entertainment industry.
Now 24, Powell started writing TV scripts, per his official website, but he soon realized he was interested in directing and visual storytelling. So, he transitioned into working as a director, creating commercials for clients like Nike and Peloton.
Besides his career common ground with Malia, Powell and his girlfriend, Sasha, both have famous fathers. Powell is the second-born child of film star Clifton Powell Sr.
