Former President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, and his wife, Mitchell, celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary on Monday.
Obama stated that he won a lottery the day he married Mitchell.
“Miche, After 30 years, I’m not sure why you look exactly the same and I don’t. I do know that I won the lottery that day—that I couldn’t have asked for a better life partner. Happy anniversary, sweetheart!” the former President wrote on Monday.

The former U.S. First Lady described the marriage as an adventure.
“Happy anniversary to the man I love! These last 30 years have been an adventure, and I’m grateful to have you by my side. Here’s to a lifetime together. I love you, Barack Obama! ❤️😘” Mitchell wrote on Monday.

The marriage is blessed with two girls – Malia and Shasha.
The duo met at a Chicago law firm, Sidley Austin LLP where Mitchell was assigned to mentor Obama while he was a summer associate.
They married on October 3, 1992.
After suffering miscarriage, Mitchell went through in vitro fertilization (IVF) to conceive Malia (1998) and Shasha (2001).
