As far as head-scratching celebrity dating rumors go, the rumors of Jennifer Aniston dating Barack Obama amid his alleged divorce from Michelle Obama is definitely up there.
However, the 55-year-old Friends alum shut down those rumors instead of just ignoring them like she may have done in the past, telling the world they were “absolutely untrue” during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! back in October. And it’s reportedly due to her not wanting to upset the former First Lady, as well as her own past experiences with infidelity rumors, that influenced her decision to speak out.
Jimmy Kimmel addressed the rumors on his show in October 2024, asking the Horrible Bosses 2 actress: “So, the truth about Jen and Barack is that there’s no truth?” Jennifer then confirmed: “I’ve met him once. I know Michelle more than him.”
Jimmy then joked, “Is there a truth about you and Michelle?” to which Jennifer said, with a smile, “That is not true.”
According to reports, the Morning Show star decided to shut down the rumors that she and the 63-year-old former POTUS were having an affair based on her past experiences with such rumors. We assume this is in reference to the rumors that ex-husband Brad Pitt developed feelings for Mr. and Mrs. Smith co-star Angelina Jolie while they were still married.
