Malia Obama, the eldest daughter of Barack and Michelle Obama reportedly canceled her engagement to Rory Farquharson. She has been dating the guy, a co-student in Harvard, for about two years now and it was claimed that their engagement is off.

The alleged engagement

As per the Globe magazine, Malia broke off her engagement to her Harvard student boyfriend, Rory. The two supposedly got secretly engaged late last year. In November 2019, Globe wrote that Malia secretly got engaged to her boyfriend and it happened over the summer.

“Malia told friends they got engaged over the summer,” the source told the magazine. “She’s excited. She has the ring, but she’s too scared to wear it in public.”

It was added that Barack Obama and his wife Michelle would surely be astounded to know that their daughter is already engaged for months. What’s more, based on the report, the two young students are said to be planning to hold their wedding ceremony this year, after graduation. The two reportedly want a royal-like wedding which means it will be a big celebration.

The Obama’s reactions

Barack and Michelle Obama are really upset because their daughter kept them in the dark when it is something that they should be the first to know. Apparently, her friends were the first ones to learn about her engagement. “She’s confided to classmates they’re going to have a big wedding in Britain, like Prince Harry and his American wife, Meghan,” the source added.

The former first couple is also frustrated because of their 21-year-old’s partying and being wild when out to have a good time. And now, this engagement is Malia’s worst “mistake” that would surely upset her parents without question.

The truth

Gossip Cop finds the story odd, so it checked the sources to know the truth. Firstly, the publication out that if it is true that Barack and Michelle like Rory like what was claimed in the article, then why would Malia hide her engagement.

Finally, Malia Obama was never engaged. The engagement was not confirmed so how can she break it off when it was not even there in the first place. If she is surely engaged, various news outlets would have reported it last year already but there was no such article even up to now. The final verdict is that the story of Malia’s engagement and breaking it off is false.
