EXCLUSIVE: Jennifer Aniston responds to Barack Obama secret romance rumors

Jennifer Aniston responds to secret Barack Obama romance rumors.

Jennifer Aniston has revealed whether her secret presidential romance is actually true.

On Wednesday, October 2, the Friends alum appeared on an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, where she ran through a list of tabloid rumors about herself over the years – revealing which ones were real.

Among the many bizarre rumors was that she had a relationship with former US president Barack Obama. During the episode, Kimmel pulled out an August 2024 copy of In Touch magazine with a cover story titled: “The truth about Jen and Barack!” Below the headline, one line read, “Michelle betrayed as Aniston steals her husband’s attention,” while another claimed that Aniston and Obama are “obsessed with each other.”

At the time, a source was quoted in the article saying that the two of them were spending more time together. “With the election coming up in November, Jen has gotten very political, so sheʼs found herself in Barackʼs world a lot lately,” the source said. “Heʼs gone Hollywood, so heʼs now in Jenʼs world. He has production deals going [with Netflix]. They have found they have a lot in common — and are talking more and more.”

However, a representative for The Morning Show actor ended up debunking the rumor shortly afterward. “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 recalled to Kimmel. “I was not mad at it.”

As she clarified that the rumor was not true, she noted: “I know Michelle [Obama] more than him.”

While Aniston debunked the Obama romance rumor, she did admit to some of the other viral rumors about herself – like receiving a salmon sperm facial. “Don’t I look like a salmon? Don’t I have beautiful salmon skin?” she joked to Kimmel.
