Malia Obama and her rumored boyfriend Dawit Eklund are fueling romance rumors with another outing.
Obama, 24, and Eklund, 33, were photographed taking a stroll together in New York City Monday.
In snaps published by Page Six, the former first daughter was dressed casually in an oversized denim shirt, beige cargo pants, sneakers and dark sunglasses, and her hair was in long braids.
The record producer matched her streetwear vibe, donning a green shirt, black jacket with daisy prints, khaki pants and sneakers for the outing. He also accessorized with dark shades.
The pair gave no indication to the paparazzi that they are dating as they showed no public displays of affection when they walked around Manhattan's Soho neighborhood and grabbed lunch at Chinatown together, according to the outlet.
Obama and Eklund spent most of their stroll with their arms firmly crossed in front of them. However, they appeared to be enjoying spending time with each other as they can be seen grinning at each other in one of the pictures.
The sighting came a month after Obama and Eklund visited the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
In photos obtained by the Daily Mail of the Los Angeles outing, Obama opted for a white crop top and loose-fitting green pants. On the other hand, Eklund sported a nude-colored T-shirt and green shorts with a photo of Bob Marley on the left leg.
At one point, the pair were seen hugging, with Eklund's hand resting on her waist as she caressed the back of his neck.
The outlet noted that it was the third outing for the duo. They were also seen together on July 26 and again on Aug. 2.
Obama previously dated her Harvard University classmate Rory Farquharson. It's unclear when they split, Page Six noted.
Obama and Farquharson were first seen together in 2017 at a Harvard vs. Yale football game.
Farquharson hails from an affluent British family. His father Charles Farquharson is the CEO of Insight Investment Management Limited, a company based in London, and his mother Catherine is an accountant who works in the Upper Tribunal in London, News18 reported.
Farquharson had been spotted with Malia's mother Michelle Obama and her sister Sasha. He also quarantined with the former first family during the pandemic when he couldn't go back to London due to travel restrictions.
