After their first excursion, Malia Obama and Dawit Eklund were photographed together several more times. With that, the Daily Mail also confirmed his name to the public, and it became public knowledge that he was a music producer. Given Obama’s own history of working in the entertainment biz, it makes sense that they had at least one thing in common. However, that wasn’t all. Page Six reported that Eklund had also grown up with a parent in the civil service, as his father was in the Peace Corps.
However, just months after they were first seen together, the outings stopped. The last time Obama was photographed in relation to the producer was in November 2022 — and as the Daily Mail reported at the time, she wasn’t with Eklund, but leaving his home. Given Malia’s preference to not address paparazzi, it’s unsurprising that she didn’t share any details with those capturing her exit. However, it’s worth noting that the outlet wrote that she’d seemed sad — so perhaps, they had opted to part ways ahead of her exit.
Whether or not the two had broken up right then, all signs seem to point to them splitting around that time. After all, more than a year has passed since then. That’s just one part of it, though: since those final pictures, Obama has been seen with someone new.
