In Touch Weekly investigated these rumors for its Aug. 5, 2024 print issue and confirmed them to be false. However, the publication did note that the two have become closer friends.
In response to these unfounded rumors, Aniston’s representative dismissed the claims entirely. The representative stated that the Morning Show star does not maintain any “personal friendship” with Obama, though she “is a fan.”
This clarification is significant, especially since Aniston had previously supported Obama‘s political campaigns and has been a vocal admirer of his policies and leadership.
Magazine’s Provocative Headline
Despite this clear denial, In Touch Weekly still featured the story on its cover, with a provocative headline, “The Truth About Jen & Barack,” and a subheader, “MICHELLE BETRAYED AS ANISTON STEALS HER HUSBAND’S ATTENTION.”
Inside the magazine, InTouch outlined various claims from an anonymous source. One of the notable assertions was, “With the election coming up in November, Jen has gotten very political, so sheʼs found herself in Barackʼs world a lot lately.” This statement suggests that Aniston’s increased political involvement has led to more interactions with Obama.

The source continued, “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.” This claim highlights the mutual interests and professional overlaps between Aniston and Obama, particularly in the entertainment industry.
Another striking statement in the article claimed, “Theyʼre friends for life.” This bold assertion further fueled the rumors, despite the lack of concrete evidence supporting a deeper relationship beyond professional and platonic interactions.
Michelle Obama’s – Perspective
Regarding Michelle Obama, the magazine’s cover teased her involvement, hinting at potential tension. The source elaborated, “Michelle knows theyʼre chummy, and apparently sheʼs not thrilled. Jen is stealing her husbandʼs attention. But she also trusts Barack.”
This quote suggests a nuanced perspective, acknowledging Michelle Obama’s awareness and slight discomfort while also emphasizing her trust in her husband.
Notably, representatives for Barack Obama did not offer any comments on the story. Their silence on the matter leaves room for continued speculation, although the lack of an official response might also suggest that the rumors are not taken seriously by those directly involved.

I imagine this is a “Trump” Thang. Get back at Aniston for the Vance cat disagreement and it was good timing as Trump is scared to death of Michelle Obama. Two birds with one sling.
