Rumors have it that former President Barack Obama and Jennifer Aniston are having an affair. It is important to note, however, that there is no evidence to back up these claims. Talk of Obama and Aniston having an affair sprung up in 2024, and these rumors have resurfaced from time to time.
Additional rumors of a potential divorce between Barack and Michelle Obama have heightened talks about Aniston being the other woman. Barack Obama recently attended the funeral of former president Jimmy Carter and the inauguration of President Donald Trump without his wife, and tabloids deduced that their marriage might be on the rocks.
Michelle Obama may reportedly launch a podcast where she talks about her marriage and other topics, and speculations are rife on whether she might address the rumors. Zack Peter, comedian and podcaster, gave his take on the hot topic in a video posted on X on March 14, 2025.
In the video, Peter refers to Jessica Reed Kraus’ post on Substack that reportedly confirms that the Obamas might be moving towards a divorce. Whilst imploring viewers not to shoot the messenger, the podcast host implies that the possibility of an affair between Obama and Aniston would leave everyone “at the edge of their seats.”
He captioned the video:
“Politics aside, this would be WILD! And Jessica Reed Kraus seems to have confirmed the Barack Obama and Jennifer Aniston rumors on her Substack,"
He added:
“I mean, an Obama divorce could help Michelle Obama’s new podcast.”
What are the rumors concerning Barack Obama and Jenifer Aniston, and what have the parties said about it?
The rumors that seem to be flying around are that the Obamas do not live together and are in the middle of a divorce proceeding, which is under wraps. Jessica Kraus also reported that Jennifer Aniston, through a leaked DM, admitted that she had been dating Barack Obama for some time.
Although neither Barack Obama nor his wife has addressed the rumors surrounding their marriage, other parties, including Jennifer Aniston, have dismissed them as mere gossip.
According to People Magazine, Aniston appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel Show in October 2024 and was shown headlines that read, “The Truth About Jen & Barack and “Michelle Obama betrayed as Aniston steals her husband’s attention,” to which she replied:
"Of all the calls you get from your publicist, where you’re just like, ‘Oh, no, what’s it gonna be? Or the email saying, you know, some cheesy tabloid is gonna make up a story, and then it's that.”
The Friends actress told Kimmel that she wasn’t upset about the headlines as they were “absolutely untrue.” She stated that she had met Obama only once and knew Michelle more than him.
