The sweet family photo follows shortly after Michelle invited Barack onto her new podcast, The Michelle Obama Podcast, as her very first guest.
In July, listeners were given a rare opportunity to listen to the couple discuss everything from their upbringings to leadership, as well as the legacy they're hoping to lead behind for their daughters.

Discussing the relationship they had with their dad, Michelle said: "When it comes to fathers raising their girls, I do think that the average father today does believe that their girl can be anything she wants to be and they are delivering those messages around the dinner table.
"There is a different way of parenting. But what we didn't do... We delivered those messages at the dinner table but we didn't take them to the board room. We didn’t change our workplaces; we didn't change things outside the home..."

"We didn't institutionalize," added Obama, to which, his wife said: "We didn't institutionalize the values that we'd been teaching this generation of kids. So now, they are growing up. They are leaving the dinner table and they are going out into the world and going, 'The world doesn't look like what I was taught back home.' You know, this isn't right."
During the candid chat, they expressed their hopes that their daughters live "in a country that respects everybody and looks after everybody. Celebrates and sees everybody". "They'll be fine. Right," responded Obama, with Michelle saying: "Yeah. That's absolutely right."
