Who is Malia Obama's boyfriend?

Malia Obama began attending Harvard University in the fall of 2017. According to W Magazine, Obama had the gap year many college students could only dream of. She partied in Amsterdam, attended Lollapalooza in Chicago, and began her internship in New York at Weinstein Company — thankfully now no longer run by Harvey Weinstein himself.

Obama has also been spotted at clubs and hitting the streets of New York with her bodyguards in tow. Though with her confidence and height of over six feet tall, Obama could probably handle her own!

After a couple months of getting used to Harvard life, pictures of Obama with a mystery man began to surface, which begs the question — just who is this guy?

Shortly before Thanksgiving in 2017, TMZ released a video of Obama briefly locking lips with someone while tailgating her very first Harvard-Yale football 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's rumored boyfriend, Rory Farquharson. 

Dating the former president's daughter doesn't exactly create the best opportunity for anonymity but the couple seems to still be going strong regardless. Here's everything you should know about Farquharson.

Obama and Farquharson were photographed smiling at one another while walking and talking in Soho, New York City. The two look happy — yay! — but there was something disconcerting about the photos. In 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 to ABC News. Either way, it's not exactly a healthy habit. 

It may also go without saying that the effects secondhand smoke are quite awful too!
