Why are rumors spreading of Barack Obama and Jennifer Aniston dating?

There’s been a lot of chatter online about a rumor between an unexpected pairing – actress Jennifer Aniston and former President Barack Obama. While we don’t have anything official, how did this rumor even start?

Last year, the tabloid “In Touch” splashed its cover with a headline claiming to reveal “The Truth About Jen and Barack.” The story quickly sparked rumors, fueling widespread discussions online.

“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.” – In Touch

On Jimmy Kimmel Live last October, Aniston addressed the rumor, joking that she wasn’t mad at the rumor, but it’s absolutely not true. It is important to note that “In Touch” has a history of allegedly reporting sensationalized stories about celebrities that often lack verifiable sources.

Meanwhile, recent comments from Meghan McCain on her podcast Wednesday reignited the Obama rumor mill, this time centered on the former president and first lady.

“I’m not talking about TMZ. I’m not talking about Perez Hilton… I’m talking about like very serious journalists telling me that they’re hearing that the Obama divorce rumors are true.” – Meghan McCain

Speculation about Barack and Michelle Obama’s marriage has also been gaining steam, in part because of Michelle’s absence from recent high-profile events.

The former first lady was noticeably absent from both former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral and President Trump’s inauguration, adding to the rumors.

A spokesperson for Michelle did confirm she was not at President Carter’s funeral but did not provide an explanation. CNN reports she had a scheduling conflict.

Despite the chatter, Barack posted a loving birthday tribute to Michelle this month, writing, “You fill every room with warmth, wisdom, humor, and grace – and you look good doing it. I’m so lucky to be able to take on life’s adventures with you. Love you!”

There has been no concrete evidence or official statements to support either the Jennifer Aniston rumors or claims of a divorce between Michelle and Barack. For now, these stories appear to be speculation spread through social media and tabloid buzz.
