Jennifer Aniston has addressed a recent magazine story that alleged that she had once had an affair with former president Barack Obama. Speaking to Jimmy Kimmel on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the Friends star cleared the air on the situation and told Kimmel about her feelings regarding the story. Here are all the details.
Did Jennifer Aniston date Barack Obama?
No, Jennifer Aniston did not date Barack Obama.
In a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Jimmy Kimmel showed Aniston an In Touch magazine cover titled “The Truth About Jen & Barack”, which was released a few weeks ago. It included a story alleging an affair between Aniston and Obama.
Jennifer Aniston expressed annoyance at the “cheesy tabloid” story. She then immediately set the record straight and shot down the Barack Obama dating rumor. “I was not mad at it, but that is absolutely untrue,” she said.
Jennifer Aniston then confirmed she only met Barack Obama once and that she knew his wife Michelle better. The Morning Show star is known for publicly supporting the Obama family during their time in the White House and beyond. One instance is when she shared a screen grab on her Instagram stories showing a fist-bump between Michelle Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris during Joe Biden’s 2021 Inauguration ceremony. “THIS is everything,” she captioned it.
Following this, Jimmy Kimmel humorously ran some rumors past Aniston. These included getting a salmon sperm facial, keeping a zip-loc bag of her dead therapist’s ashes, and traveling abroad with a “jar of olives”. Aniston confirmed these rumors. However, she refused to go into detail about the stories involving the therapist’s ashes or the jar of olives.
Barack Obama, however, has not yet reacted to the affair story.
Aniston was last married to Justin Theroux, whom she separated from in 2018. Meanwhile, Obama has been married to Michelle Obama for 32 years, sharing two daughters with her, Malia Ann and Natasha.
