Jennifer Aniston recently talked about one of the craziest rumours about her dating life: that she was having an affair with former President Barack Obama. The star couldn’t help but laugh at how silly everything was.
Aniston was asked about the shocking claim when she went on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on October 2. This was quickly shot down as a lie, showing that she is truly closer to Michelle Obama than to Barack.
Aniston said that she gets nervous every time her agent calls because she doesn’t know what new rumours will come out. But this particular rumour didn’t bother her. “I met him once, and I know Michelle better than he does,” she joked.
When Kimmel asked Aniston in jest if her friendship with Michelle was more than just friendship, Aniston quickly denied it, leaving no room for doubt.
It’s interesting that Aniston’s statement came at the same time as the Obamas’ 32nd wedding anniversary on October 3. Barack Obama marked the event with a touching Instagram post last year, calling Michelle “brilliant, kind, funny, and beautiful.” His sweet words only strengthened their love for each other.
Aniston put an end to the false rumour by setting the record straight, showing the humour and humility that are her trademarks. She is one of the most loved stars in Hollywood, so she’s used to rumours. But this time, she got the last laugh.
