Barack and Mitchell Obama have always worked hard to ensure their two daughters enjoyed privacy away from the spotlight despite growing up in one of the world’s most famous homes White House

And while Malia and Sasha have rarely been seen out in the Public over the past years the family are this week’s cover stars for people magazine

Malia and Sasha have been spending the quarantine period with their parents after returning from their various universities

Barack told the publication: “I think part of what’s been also wonderful is seeing Malia and Sasha become such great friends. they have got a three year gap between them one is 16 and the other 13 there is still that sister competition , did you grab my halter top ? Where is it? Why haven’t you returned it? Why are you doing this? Why are you doing that?

“Now they are both old enough where they just enjoy each other’s company and to be together as a family and see how they’ve become these marvelous young women – there is no greater joy than that.

The Obamas spent the begging of their pandemic in their home in Washington before relocating to their vineyard over the summer.

Mitchell also admitted while they were enjoying their family time the two were itching to go back to school. She also said “I think first our kids got a little sick of us which is fine because we were pretty much sick of them.

“And so the summer started happening and then we could be outside more often we came to the vine yard where we still are and there is more room to roam which helped us break it up
