Michelle Obama is marking her 62nd birthday on Saturday, and her husband, former President Barack Obama, is celebrating her with a heartfelt message.

He posted a photo of the couple together on Instagram, writing, "Happy birthday to the woman who lights up every room she walks into. I love you, Miche."

The birthday milestone comes as she recently released her latest book, "The Look."

The former first lady recently sat down with "Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts to discuss the project, which offers an in-depth and personal exploration of her iconic style during her years in the White House.

5. If Trump even whispers about a third term, the Barack Hussein Obama should run for the Dems.

He would bury Trump. And Michelle vs Melania? Pfft - please. No comparison in class, grace and dignity.
