Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston, who was married to Brad Pitt dated John Mayer, and then got hitched to Justin Theroux in the years since is now making headlines for her alleged affair with former US President Barack Obama. The latter has sparked divorce rumours with Michelle Obama after 32 years of marriage.
Reports of Aniston and Obama's alleged affair surfaced in the media after a friend of the Friends actor claimed that she admitted to the same during a gathering. American author Jessica Reed Kraus posted on her substack on January 15 a DM which read, "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."
