Fear not—Barack Obama and Joe Biden's bromance is still going strong. Although we haven't seen the pair in public together since they've left the White House, the former president's chief of staff assures the duo is still close.
"The bromance continues. It’s not ended," Anita Decker Breckenridge, who worked for Obama from 2011 to 2017, told People. She added that the former POTUS and VP still talk to and see each other. "I mean, they had lunch every single week for eight years," she said, recalling their time at the White House.

Following Trump's inauguration in January, the first time Obama and Biden saw each other after leaving office was at a low-key celebration in honor of the Obamas' new offices in West End, Washington D.C.
"The vice president walked in and he and President Obama embraced and then immediately clicked back into the relationship they had working together," former White House press aide Peter Velz told People. "It was really nice to see, just how warm the vice president’s reception was." That's one reunion we're sad we missed.
Apparently, the pair have hung out for "a few rounds of golf" recently, too. Perhaps we'll see some more memes in the future?
