Barack and Michelle Obama had a very special dinner in Barcelona. The pair had a great time with Steven Spielberg and Bruce Springsteen ahead of his concert, which is taking place on Friday, April 28, and is his first performance in Spain since 2016.

The 73-year-old musician was accompanied by his wife Patti Scialfa, who seems to be good friends with the former First Lady. The group looked casual during their outing, arriving at the popular restaurant Amar.

It was reported that the group started to get to know each other during Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign. Back in September Michelle was also spotted having dinner with the singer and his wife in New York City.

The former president previously joined the singer to co-host a podcast called ‘Renegades: Born in the USA,’ and he has had a close relationship with the filmmaker, even vacationing together before.
