Happy Valentine's Day from America's first couple!

The Oval Office is decidedly more heart-shaped today as Michelle Obama posted a Valentine's Day message to her husband on Instagram.

'Hey Barack, I'll always be your valentine! #HappyValentinesDay,' she wrote, next to three photos of herself and the president laughing and embracing.

The president and first lady are famously affectionate with each other year-round. But this year, they're actually not planning anything major for Valentine's Day - mostly because Michelle's 50th birthday celebrations last month were so extensive.

'He celebrated me so well - he did a great job,' Michelle told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show this week. 'I had a great couple of weeks, so I think we're going to low-key it for Valentine's Day. It feels like we just finished celebrating my birthday so I think we'll low-key it.'
