'You're one of a kind': Barack Obama pays tribute to Michelle on her 55th birthday

Barack Obama has shared a heartwarming message for his wife Michelle on her 55th birthday.

The former US president described his wife as “one of a kind” as he shared a throwback image of the couple on social media.

Mr Obama captioned the image: I knew it way back then and I’m absolutely convinced of it today – you’re one of a kind”.

Michelle retweeted Barack's post and added: "Thank you @barackobama for 26+ years of love, trust, and respect—for being a man who always lifts up and honours me and our wonderful girls.

“Each day I’m with you, I’m reminded of what a treasure you truly are to us all."
