Jennifer Aniston says she and Barack Obama are just friends — and barely even that.
The “Friends” star appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Wednesday night where she was asked about a tabloid story indicating she and the 44th president are “obsessed” with one another.
According to an In Touch magazine cover story from a few weeks ago, the pair’s relationship is all the buzz among Beltway and Hollywood insiders. The story claimed the affair left Michelle Obama “betrayed.”
But Aniston said she’s met Obama just once and the “cheesy tabloid” story has no basis in reality.
“There is no truth,” Aniston said while laughing off the report.
According to the actress, she’s actually spent more time with former First Lady Michelle Obama than with the former president.
Aniston told Kimmel the In Touch story is so baseless and bizarre that she can’t even be mad about it. Even In Touch hedged its bets by saying in its “Truth About Jen & Barack” story that they found no evidence of an affair, but that the pair were becoming closer.
“That is absolutely untrue,” Aniston told Kimmel of the report overall.
Aniston did however confess to Kimmel that not every story about her in the tabloids is false. For example, she was once approached for a fan photo while naked in a sauna. That request wasn’t granted, Aniston said.
Aniston is busily promoting a kids book titled “Clydeo Takes a Bite Out of Life.”
