Malia Obama began attending Harvard University in the fall of 2017.
According toW Magazine, Obama had the gap year many college students could only dream of.
Though with her confidence and height of over six feet tall, Obama could probably handle her own!
So of course Obama got in on the Harvard-Yale action, and she wasn’t alone.
That’s one way to kick off a game.
At that point in time, the press didn’t know who this young man was.
However, it didn’t take long to figure it out.
He’s now known to be Obama’sboyfriend, Rory Farquharson.
Here’s everything you should know about Farquharson.
The two looked happy in the photos yay!
but there was something disconcerting about what was revealed in them nonetheless.
In virtually every picture from their outing, Farquharson can be seen with a cigarette in hand.
Perhaps this isn’t necessarily too surprising as an estimated one-third of college students smoke, according toABC News.
Either way, it’s not exactly a healthy habit.
It may also go without saying thatthe effects secondhand smokeare quite awful too!
But hey, at least the lovebirds are also carrying around bottled water to stay hydrated, right?
Is Farquharson a bad influence on Obama?
Unfortunately, Malia Obama also seems to have developed the addictive smoking habit.
Is Rory Farquharson a bad influence on Obama?
Maybe, maybe not.
Either way, let’s hope both the former first daughter and her boyfriend quit soon!
Like Malia Obama, Farquharson was a student at Harvard University, one of only eightIvy League schools.
According toThe Telegraph, this is likely where the lovebirds first met.
While at Harvard, Obama’sinterests centered around the arts.
Farquharson, on the other hand, may be following in his father Charles' footsteps.
Malia Obama may be part of that majority, as her love interest just so happens to be British.
He was also deemed “Head of School” during the 2015-2016 school year.
Sothat’swhat the Harvard tool takes.
Much like Obama, Farquharson also interned before attending Harvard University.
Obama’s man definitely seems ambitious!
Would you expect anything less from the daughter of the former President of the United States?
Those are big shoes to fill.
Will Obama follow suit with a pair of tiny sunglasses all her own?
Time will tell but, even if she doesn’t, she’s fashionable enough without them.
Just ask Meghan Markle.
Farquharson’s letter wasn’t all mean.
Apparently Farquharson is stellar at predicting the future.
Still, we bet he didn’t think he’d end up dating one of President Obama’s daughters!
Well, he justmight.
As it turns out, Malia Obama’s boyfriend is the second cousin of Andrew Farquharson,Expressreported.
What does President Obama think about his daughters dating?
In the past, President Obama has discussed his thoughts about his daughters growing up and dating.
President Obama responded, “Oh … that happened.
You know, the truth is I’m pretty relaxed about it.”
Obama then joked, “The other reason is because they’ve had Secret Service.
There’s only so much they can do!”
According toThe Telegraph, Farquharson has shared his criticism of President Trump via social media in the past.
If Farquharsonhadbeen a Trump supporter, dinners with the Obamas would have probably gotten a little awkward.
That is, if the smoking and Michelle Obama’sprobable feelings about it weren’t already awkward enough,ahem.
Add room and board, and you’re up even more.
Rory Farquharson is no exception.
While quarantining, Obama shared that he played card games with his daughters and Malia’s boyfriend.
And my grocery bill went up about 30 percent" (viaDaily Mail).
It seems like Farquharson fits in very nicely with the former first family.
Now they’re bringing grown men home.
Before it was just pop bands, now they have boyfriends and real lives."
Obama didn’t mention Malia’s boyfriend, Rory Farquharson, by name during the TV appearance.
Her sister Sasha also lives there.
