Former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama are no strangers to publicly expressing their love for each other. Here are their Valentine’s Day tributes to one another throughout the years:
2018: The former first lady dedicated a Valentine’s Day Spotify playlist to Barack Obama.
Happy #ValentinesDay to my one and only, @BarackObama. To celebrate the occasion, I’m dedicating a little Valentine’s Day playlist to you! ? https://t.co/aHSQAL25mH

Although President Trump is an active member of Twitter, a search on his personal account shows that he has never dedicated a tweet to first lady Melania Trump for Valentine’s Day.
In 2013, Melania sent what appears to be the couples only tweet acknowledging the holiday.
“Happy Valentine’s Day to my dear husband @realDonaldTrump!” Melania wrote.
