A wave of rumours surrounding former US President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama has taken social media by storm, fueled by discussions of a possible separation and an alleged connection between Barack Obama and actress Jennifer Aniston. Amid this, Megyn Kelly, host of The Megyn Kelly Show, addressed the rumours and said “it would be a political earthquake” if it were true.
Megyn Kelly calls it a ‘political earthquake’
Kelly’s social media posts on X and Instagram rapidly spread, drawing attention to the potential consequences of such a separation. “I don’t know whether it is true,” she said, “but if it is, it truly would be a political earthquake in Democratic circles, never mind America.”
In her video, Kelly further emphasised the rarity of presidential divorces, saying ”I don’t remember a presidential divorce in modern history.”
Viral post links Barack Obama and Jennifer Aniston
A post on X has added fuel to the fire, claiming that Jennifer Aniston is romantically involved with Barack Obama. The post alleged that a friend of Aniston revealed the relationship during a casual conversation at a gathering. “He’s with Jennifer Aniston. My old manager, now a friend, is connected to her inner circle. At a gathering with Jennifer’s friends, the affair came up casually — Jennifer herself admitted it. They were sitting with a psychic, which makes it sound surreal, but it’s definitely not a secret among her closest friends,” the message read.
The message has since gone viral, sparking heated debates and widespread speculation. Social media users were quick to point out that the rumours align with earlier tabloid claims, despite Aniston’s public denial during an October appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Laughing off a magazine cover story suggesting a romance with Barack Obama, Aniston called the claims “absolutely untrue” but joked that she wasn’t offended by them.
Michelle Obama’s absence fuels speculation
The rumours of a split gained traction when Michelle Obama was noticeably absent from key events, including the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter.
Michelle’s team later clarified that she was on an extended vacation in Hawaii during the Carter funeral. However, reports suggesting that she has distanced herself from Washington, life and spends little time with Barack have added to the speculation.
No official word yet
As the rumours continue to swirl, neither Barack nor Michelle Obama has commented publicly on the matter. Similarly, Jennifer Aniston has not addressed the latest claims.
