How Did the Rumor Begin?
In August 2024, InTouch Weekly published a cover story titled “The Truth About Jen & Barack.” The tabloid claimed the two were “obsessed with each other” and that Michelle Obama felt “betrayed” because Aniston had allegedly “stolen her husband’s attention.”
It only takes one fabricated story to plant seeds of belief in some fans—even when there’s no evidence or truth to it.
Jennifer Aniston directly addressed the gossip (skip to 4:00) during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in October 2024, where she debunked the story and joked about its absurdity.

“Of all the calls you get from your publicist where you’re like, ‘Oh no, what’s it gonna be?’ Or the emails saying some cheesy tabloid’s going to make up a story, and then it’s that,” Aniston continued, “It is untrue. I’ve met him [Obama] once. I know Michelle more than him.”
Despite lack of evidence, the rumor seems to have legs online, fueled by speculation and the relentless gossip culture. Sometimes, fans need to know that a far-fetched story such as this is just that: fiction!
