Aniston Addresses Rumors of Affair
A few weeks ago, a tabloid published a baseless story linking the 55-year-old Aniston to the former U.S. president, claiming on its cover that Michelle felt “betrayed” as Aniston captured her husband’s attention.
During the show, Jimmy Kimmel presented her with the magazine featuring the story, and Aniston seized the opportunity to clarify the situation.
“Of all the calls you get from your publicist where you’re just like ‘Oh, no, what’s it gonna be?’ or you get an email saying some cheesy tabloid is gonna make up a story—and then it’s that…” Aniston stated.
“I was not mad at it,” and called the story “absolutely untrue”. she continued.
Jennifer Aniston is currently not known to be dating anyone, having been romantically linked to no one for almost five years. Her last relationship was with actor, director, and screenwriter Justin Theroux, which began in May 2011. The couple got engaged in 2012 and married in 2015, but their marriage ended in separation in 2017.
Aniston’s Political Support for Democrats
Jennifer Aniston supported Barack Obama during his 2008 presidential campaign, donating to his efforts at the time. The Friends actress is recognized for backing Democratic candidates, participating in a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election. Additionally, Aniston endorsed incumbent President Joe Biden in 2020.
Barack Obama and Michelle Obama have been happily married for 32 years and have two daughters, Malia, 26, and Sasha, 23.
Aniston recounted a “traumatic” childhood experience that left her with “some sort of PTSD” after being asked to belly dance in front of her family.
“You know, the Greeks love any kind of a family dinner, they would say, ‘Let’s get up and watch’ – it’s like when you say to your child, ‘Play piano for everyone, let’s sing for everyone’,” she stated.
“I have inner trauma from having to perform and belly dance in front of my Greek aunts and uncles and grandmothers,” Aniston added.
