Barack and Michelle Obama's oldest daughter Malia has an extra special day ahead for her - a double celebration that she's enjoyed every year since she was born.
That's because Malia was born on July 4, Independence Day, meaning that she not only has her 25th birthday to enjoy, but Fourth of July celebrations too.
Malia is notoriously private, but her mom and dad paid tribute to the talented TV writer in posts shared on their respective social media accounts.
Michelle took to Instagram with a sweet photo of Malia as a baby and wrote: " Happy birthday, Malia! I feel so lucky to be your mom and to be able to watch you become the wonderful young woman you are today. Love you so much!"
While Barack shared a photo of himself hugging his oldest daughter and added a message which read: " Happy birthday to this talented, hilarious, and beautiful young woman. Malia, I hope 25 brings you everything you’re looking for and more.
The doting parents tend to post messages accompanied by family photos on special occasions such as birthdays, Christmas time and on Mother's Day and Father's Day.
Malia lives with her sister, Sasha, 22, in Los Angeles, where she has based herself for several years.
Upon graduating from Harvard University in 2021, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career as a screenwriter.

It's safe to say she's already made a mark in the industry too, and has even worked alongside Donald Glover, in what was her first TV writing role on Hive.
Donald was full of praise for the talented star and her incredible work ethic in an interview with Vanity Fair. "[She is] an amazingly talented person.
She's really focused, and she's working really hard," he said, adding that Malia's "writing style is great."

"She was interning at HBO, and they thought, what if she comes a couple days a week to the set of Girls? She loved the show, and I mean, obviously we weren't, like, making her go get our coffee.
