Malia Obama is now Malia Ann. The eldest daughter of former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama changed her last name from “Obama” to her middle name, “Ann,” and her family support her decision.
Why did Malia Obama change her last name?
Michelle revealed in an interview on the “Sibling Revelry” podcast in June 2025 that Malia had changed her name professionally because she’s “trying to make her way” as a director without the influence of her famous parents.
