Last week, we reported that rumors are swirling about former President Barack Obama dating the Hollywood megastar Jennifer Aniston. This was bound up in rumors that Barack and his wife Michelle Obama are headed for divorce.
We reported that Jennifer was quick to attempted to clear up these rumors as soon as they started back in October. Now, the reason for her eagerness to put them to rest has been revealed.
Jennifer Wanted To Shut Down Obama Rumors
Jennifer typically doesn’t comment on rumors about her personal life. On this one, however, she decided to break that rule.
“Jen was going to have her people either not respond or give a ‘no comment,’ but she thought that would add fuel to the fire,” a source told Daily Mail. “She decided to shut it down before it could get even more out of hand.”
Jennifer has been one of the most famous women in Hollywood for decades. She’s used to rumors. When it comes to rumors about dating a married former president, however, Jennifer is reportedly afraid of upsetting Michelle.
“[Jennifer] barely knows Obama, let alone is dating him,” the insider explained. “She told friends that after all these years of being in the spotlight, this has to be the most bizarre piece of gossip she has ever heard about herself.”
“She truly doesn’t know how people come up with this stuff out of nowhere. More than being concerned about it, she’s totally baffled,” the source continued. “However, Jen’s upset for Michelle because she’s seen stories about the Obamas’ marriage being on the rocks and she knows first hand what it is like to be at the center of stories like that.”
Very interesting that Aniston mentioned the Obama’s alleged marital troubles, no?

Jennifer Claims Rumors She’s Dating Barack Are ‘Untrue’
The rumors about the Obamas divorcing escalated this month when Michelle skipped both the funeral of Jimmy Carter and the inauguration of Donald Trump. Indeed, Barack had to attend each of these events alone.
In the wake of this, an October of 2024 clip of Jennifer denying that she’s dating Barack resurfaced. When asked about the dating rumors by the late night host Jimmy Kimmel, Jennifer replied, “I was not mad at it, but that is absolutely untrue.”
“I’ve met him [Obama] once. I know Michelle more than him,” Jennifer claimed, alleging that she only met Barack at a 2007 Hollywood gala before he took office.

Jennifer’s History
Jennifer also knows what it’s like to be cheated on in the public eye. Her marriage to Brad Pitt infamously ended after he had an affair with Angelina Jolie on the set of the 2005 movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Pitt would go on to marry Jolie and have six children with her. They later split in a bitter divorce that was only just recently finalized after an eight year court battle.
Perhaps this is why Jennifer is also eager for both Michelle and the world to know that she’s not the type of woman who would steal another woman’s husband.
The Obamas have yet to comment on any of these rumors. Only time will tell if they really are headed for divorce!
