Rumors hinting at a romantic link-up between former US President Barack Obama and beloved actress Jennifer Aniston seem to be surfacing yet again. Such speculations first hit the internet after InTouch published a story titled “The Truth About Jen & Barack,” which covered their alleged affair. The dating theories have started to make headlines once again amidst reports that suggest a marital discord between Barack and Michelle Obama.
Here’s everything you need to know regarding the dating rumors surrounding Obama and Aniston.
What are the Barack Obama and Jennifer Aniston dating rumors about?
The speculations of an affair between Barack Obama and Jennifer Aniston first hit the internet in 2024.
However, the Friends star quickly debunked the theories during her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in October last year. During their interaction, Aniston labeled the InTouch report as a “cheesy tabloid” story before stating, “I was not mad at it, but that is absolutely untrue.”
Aniston added, “I’ve met him [Obama] once. I know Michelle more than him,” referring to their 2007 encounter at a Hollywood gala. Despite her blatant denial, speculations claiming that Barack Obama is dating the Primetime Emmy winner have once again gained momentum online. This trend comes after a RadarOnline report conveyed that Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, are facing issues in their marriage.
The said story stated, “Their once solid marriage has come under strain and for the first time, they’re struggling to keep a lid on their problems. The Aniston ‘affair’ attention was unwanted and Michelle felt let down by it all. But the reality is they are more like friends at the moment.”
While the report does not include any factual data at all, netizens seem to showcase some trust in the Barack Obama dating rumors. This is majorly due to Michelle Obama’s notable absence from former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral, as well as Donald Trump’s inauguration, where she failed to accompany her husband.
Michelle’s office has since cited scheduling conflicts as the reason behind her missing Carter’s funeral, while many have highlighted her public disdain of Trump as the cause for the second event. Meanwhile, Barack Obama has yet to issue an official statement that distances himself from the dating rumors with Jennifer Aniston.
