How it started
The rumours started last year when an article titled “The Truth About Jen & Barack” was published by InTouch magazine. While it did not gain much traction at the time, recent rumours about a rift between Obama and his wife, Michelle, have caused the old article to resurface online.

Barack Obama/Jennifer Aniston affair? good for them I guess. who even bothers making stuff like that up in 2025? no one cares. Donald Trump is the president and he has a 100 scandals worse that that. clearly it doesn't matter.

The stupidest thing on X is Jennifer Aniston's false story that she's having an affair with Obama. Michelle is gorgeous, kind, intelligent and strong. And the Obama's marriage is solid. This bullshit has got to be called out for what it is - pic.twitter.com/EfgbXcM9sq

At first, I laughed this off as a rumor. Now I’m seeing articles everywhere saying Jennifer Aniston’s DM’s to friends admitting her affair with Barack Obama have been leaked. Is this actually real? pic.twitter.com/feXZ5JqTjs

The mixed reactions to the rumours just go to show the polarising nature of celebrity gossip. For now, whether it is seen as an invasion of privacy or just entertainment remains open to debate.
