Was a satirical article responsible for the rumor of Barack Obama having an affair with Jennifer Aniston? Here's what a report is saying

Jennifer Aniston and Barack Obama's affair rumors have been doing the rounds for more than a couple of weeks now, and it had already taken the world by storm until the source of the story has now been traced. According to reports, a 2014 think piece by The Economist is being thought of as the idea behind this affair rumor.

What is the source of the Obama-Aniston affair rumor?

The British magazine back in 2014, when Obama was still President, dared to ask some weird questions, including a scenario where there could be a possible affair between Obama and Friends star Jennifer Aniston. This same very think piece was cheeky enough to include the hypothetical concept of George W. Bush divorcing his wife and marrying Beyoncé instead.

That was probably the first time Obama and Aniston's name featured together in a report, until now, when the August 2024 issue of InTouch published a story with the headline, “The Truth About Jen & Barack!” As soon as this news was published, it generated shockwaves across the United States, and questioned the former President's integrity and whatnot. Meanwhile, DailyBeast suggests that InTouch primarily cited an episode of celebrity gossip podcast Who? Weekly as the Obama-Aniston affair rumor's main source in their August piece.


Meanwhile, Aniston was quick to debunk these rumors in a Jimmy Kimmel Live show and tried giving no bandwidth to this rumor whatsoever.
