Rumours surrounding an alleged romantic link between actress Jennifer Aniston and former U.S. President Barack Obama have resurfaced, months after they initially sparked widespread attention. The claims, which originated from a tabloid magazine, remain unsubstantiated, but they continue to fuel gossip online.
The speculation first emerged in August 2024 when InTouch magazine published a sensational cover story with the headline, “The Truth About Jen & Barack!” The article alleged that Obama and Aniston had grown close, claiming the pair were “obsessed with each other.” The magazine also suggested that Michelle Obama felt “betrayed,” adding to the intrigue.
Inside the issue, an unnamed source was quoted saying, “Jen has gotten very political with the election coming up, so she’s found herself in Barack’s world a lot lately. He’s gone Hollywood, so he’s now in Jen’s world.” The source alleged the two had discovered common interests, leading to frequent interactions.
Jennifer Aniston, however, publicly dismissed the rumours during an October 2024 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Laughing off the tabloid claims, she said, “I have only met [Barack Obama] once. I know Michelle more than him.” The Friends actress called the allegations “absolutely untrue.”
Barack Obama has not addressed the rumours directly. However, renewed speculation has arisen following Michelle Obama’s absence from two recent high-profile events – the funerals of former President Jimmy Carter and Donald Trump’s inauguration. Although Barack Obama posted a heartfelt birthday message to Michelle on January 17, gossip surrounding their relationship persists.
A Daily Mail headline added to the buzz, reporting that Barack Obama dined alone in Washington, D.C., on the eve of Trump’s inauguration, amid rumours of his alleged connection with Aniston.
Despite the ongoing chatter, no credible evidence supports the allegations. Both Obama and Aniston’s representatives have remained silent on the matter, leaving the claims confined to the tabloid and social media circles.
