Jennifer Aniston has officially denied rumors of an affair with former President Barack Obama. The Friends actress, 55, was recently linked to the 63-year-old former president in a tabloid story published a few weeks ago. However, during her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday, she clarified the situation and dismissed the speculation.
“Of all the calls you get from your publicist where you’re thinking, ‘Oh no, what’s this about?’ or when you get an email saying a cheesy tabloid is making up a story—and then it’s that… I wasn’t even mad at it,” Aniston said, emphasizing, “The story is absolutely untrue.”
Host Jimmy Kimmel followed up by asking, “So, the truth about Jen and Barack is that there’s no truth?”
Aniston responded, “I’ve met him [Obama] once. I actually know Michelle more than him.”
In a playful moment, Kimmel asked, “Is there a truth about you and Michelle?”
With a laugh, Aniston replied, “That is not true.”
Jennifer is currently not in a relationship, and Barack Obama has been married to Michelle Obama for 32 years. The couple shares two daughters, Malia, 26, and Sasha, 23.
