AceShowbiz - Malia Obama has added fuel to rumors that she is dating a new guy. After photos emerged of her hanging out with a mystery guy who is not her longtime boyfriend Rory Farquharson, she has been spotted together with the same man again.
Malia's mystery male companion has been identified as music producer Dawit Eklund. On Wednesday, August 3, the twosome was spotted on a museum date. They visited the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, during which they looked cozy around each other.
Malia and Dawit were seen grinning from ear to ear in photos obtained by TMZ. They also flashed some PDA, with the Harvard graduate caressing the back of the musician's neck and his hand resting on her waist.
Planned or not, they went color-coordinated with Malia opting for teal pants and Dawit sporting shorts in similar color. She teamed the pants with a white crop top and sandals, while he opted for a pink T-shirt, gray socks and black shoes. Both of them wore sunglasses.
This is the third time Malia and Dawit were seen together. On July 28, they stepped out to grab takeout food together. Later on August 2, the eldest daughter of former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle was photographed enjoying a stroll with the 32-year-old artist.
According to Page Six, Eklund co-founded the record label 1432 R alongside Joyce Lim and Sami Yenigun in Washington D.C. His father Jon is a retired State Department officer Jon Eklund who worked at several US embassies in Africa, and his mother, Yeshi Eklund, is from Ethiopia.
Malia previously dated fellow Harvard student Rory since 2017, but there have not been recent photos of them. Malia moved to Los Angeles last year, after graduating from Harvard, to pursue a career as a screenwriter. She is currently working as a screenwriter on Donald Glover's upcoming Amazon show.
