Jennifer Aniston has once again dismissed the long-circulating rumors linking her romantically to former U.S. President Barack Obama.
In a new Vanity Fair profile published Monday, the “Friends” star revealed she is actually closer to Michelle Obama than to Barack. “I was lucky enough to have dinner with Michelle a month ago,” Aniston shared, though she didn’t go into details about their conversation.
One topic that never came up during their meeting? The alleged Aniston–Obama romance. “It never even came up,” she remarked, adding that when you’re the subject of such rumors, “most people don’t take them seriously.”
Aniston had already labeled the claims “absolutely untrue” during an October 2024 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Michelle Obama has also faced her own wave of speculation, including divorce rumors, which she addressed earlier this year on Sophia Bush’s Work in Progress podcast. “As women, we often struggle with the idea of letting people down,” she said, pointing out that some assumed she and Barack were separating simply because she made a personal choice. a personal decision.
The former first lady even joked about how obvious it would be if there were real marital issues. In a May appearance on The Diary of a CEO podcast, she joked, “If I were having issues with my husband, everyone would know. I’m not the type to suffer in silence—I’d be out there saying, ‘Let me tell you what [Barack] did.’”
