Debunking the Obama-Aniston Divorce Rumor: How a Baseless Tabloid Tale Went Viral

Jennifer Aniston’s purported involvement in the Obama marriage is a total fiction. There is no record of Jennifer Aniston and Barack Obama ever having more than a passing acquaintance at public events, let alone any kind of close relationship. Tabloids have, in the past, connected Aniston to a variety of public figures with little basis in reality, often in the context of fake or exaggerated romantic stories. The likely explanation here is simple: Aniston’s name was used because she is a familiar face who consistently draws public interest and sells headlines, with no regard for actual truth.
