Rumors of a secret love affair between Jennifer Aniston and Barack Obama are gaining traction online, fueled by claims that the former U.S. president and Michelle Obama are heading for divorce.
The speculation began when Who? Weekly podcast made a claim about their alleged romance, followed by an article published by InTouch titled The Truth About Jen & Barack.
Although the Friends alum debunked the rumors during a 2024 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, dismissing them as “a cheesy tabloid story,” the claims have resurfaced, reigniting buzz and speculation.
The Alleged Secret Romance Between Jennifer Aniston and Barack Obama
Rumors of a secret romance between Barack and Jennifer gained renewed attention after X user Melanie King shared a purported leaked DM from a friend of The Morning Show star, allegedly confirming their relationship and claiming that the former POTUS was divorcing Michelle.
“He’s with Jennifer Aniston. My old manager, now a friend, is connected to her inner circle. At a gathering with Jennifer’s friends, the affair came up casually—Jennifer herself admitted it,” the source said. “They were sitting with a psychic, which makes it sound surreal, but it’s definitely not a secret among her closest friends.”
The post further alleged that sources within Washington, D.C., political circles, as well as Jennifer’s social circles in New York and Los Angeles, had corroborated the story.
It was even claimed that the 55-year-old actress admitted to dating Barack during a casual gathering with a psychic.
However, fans should note that despite the sensational nature of these allegations, no credible evidence supports the claim of a romantic connection between Jennifer and Barack.
Jennifer Aniston Denies Alleged Affair with Barack Obama
Following Who? Weekly and InTouch’s bombshell claims, Pop Culture deemed the rumors false after Jennifer’s representative denied the alleged affair in a statement, saying she didn’t have any “personal friendship” with Barack. However, she “is a fan.”
Jennifer notably contributed to Barack’s political campaigns in the past.
She has already refused the claims in her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in October 24.
After host Jimmy Kimmel pulled out the scandalous InTouch article in question, she couldn’t help but swear and laugh about it.
“Of all the calls you get from your publicist where you're like, ‘Oh no, what's it gonna be?’,” she said. “Or the emails saying some cheesy tabloid's going to make up a story and then it's that.”
As she was evidently unaffected, Jennifer added, “I was not mad at it.”
Barack Obama and Michelle Obama’s Divorce Rumors
The rumors about Jennifer and Barack’s alleged romance emerged amid ongoing speculation that Barack and Michelle are divorcing.
The former First Lady’s recent absence from several high-profile events, including the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter and the inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump, has fueled claims of potential marital issues.
Some social media users have linked Jennifer’s name to these speculations, suggesting she might be involved in a love triangle with the Obamas and could even be involved in their rumored marital troubles.
Given Jennifer and Barack's high-profile statuses, it’s no surprise that their alleged romance has sparked significant public interest.
However, it appears the story is driven purely by social media speculation rather than any factual evidence, making it yet another example of unverified information spreading in today’s digital age.
