Michelle Obama’s First Boyfriend Speaks Out

The first boyfriend of Michelle Obama has provided new insights into the First Lady, not to mention a prom night photograph of her in a satin dress with plunging neckline and a high slit.
David Upchurch escorted the then 18-year-old Michelle Robinson to the prom at Whitney M Young High School in Chicago in 1982.

Now a customer service representative and divorced father of three living in a modest house in Colorado Springs, he said that their romance
went nowhere.

"I was a screw-up, plain and simple," he told the Enquirer magazine. He claimed he had "pretty much forgotten" their prom date together and couldn't even recall if it ended with a kiss.

Mr Upchurch, the first of Mrs Obama's former boyfriends to speak publicly about their relationship, knew her family from an early age as they were both raised in Chicago's South Side.

"I grew up with Michelle and her brother Craig. We were neighbours and our families were close."

After his father died, Michelle's father, Fraser, took him "under his wing" and helped him to deal with his loss, he said.

They "began dating" when Michelle was in the middle of her junior year at high school -when she would have been 16 or 17 - and continued to see each other for a year and a half, until she graduated, he said.
