Rumours about Jennifer Aniston and Barack Obama: What social media is saying

New Delhi: Social media is abuzz with rumours suggesting a possible romance between actress Jennifer Aniston and former US president Barack Obama. While the speculation has sparked mixed reactions online—ranging from shock to disbelief—none of the individuals involved have addressed the claims.

The rumours date back to 2024 when InTouch magazine published a piece titled “The Truth About Jen & Barack.” Recently, they resurfaced following unverified reports suggesting marital challenges between Barack and his wife, Michelle Obama. Here’s a closer look at how social media and public figures are reacting to the gossip.

Jennifer and Barack dating?

An old video of Jennifer Aniston addressing similar rumours has been circulating online. In the video, Aniston appears to dismiss the speculation, stating, “I know Michelle [Obama] more than him.” She also hinted that such rumours are not uncommon, saying it’s typical for publicists to alert celebrities about fabricated stories.

Adding fuel to the fire, a post on X (formerly Twitter) alleges that Aniston confirmed her relationship with Obama at a private gathering with friends. However, no credible evidence supports this claim, and the post itself remains unverified.

Journalist Meghan Kelly weighed in on her video program, speculating that if the rumours were true, they would cause a “political earthquake in Democratic circles.” She also referenced Michelle Obama’s absence from Jimmy Carter’s funeral as a possible sign of marital tension. However, Kelly did not provide any concrete evidence to substantiate her claims.
