The speculation seems to have snowballed after ongoing conspiracy theories about the state of Barack and Michelle Obama’s marriage resurfaced. Much of the chatter revolves around Michelle’s absence from two significant public events:
the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter on January 9, 2025, and Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20. While these absences have fueled rumors of marital strife, they’ve also somehow been linked to Jennifer Aniston—a claim that lacks any credible foundation.
The alleged affair between Aniston and Obama, while attention-grabbing, is wildly improbable. Nevertheless, it has gained enough traction to prompt a look back at a 2024 interview where Aniston addressed the rumors head-on. During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last October, the Friends star was shown a gossip magazine referencing the alleged fling. Her reaction was both incredulous and humorous.
