Michelle and Barack Obama will celebrate 33 years of marriage this year. However, the couple, considered one of the most exemplary couples in the public sphere in the history of the United States, has been facing rumors of relationship crisis for the past few weeks.
It all started when some British tabloids began to speculate because they attended a dinner together in mid-December where they seemed somewhat distant. This, combined with the lack of mutual affectionate posts on their social media, led to rumors. Additionally, Michelle did not attend the funeral services of former President Jimmy Carter, citing scheduling conflicts.
After that, it had been established that the former American first lady would not attend Donald Trump's presidential inauguration either. The situation escalated even further when Michelle was questioned about her husband, and she replied somewhat coldly: "It's fine, it's fine. He continues to work very hard, but I think it's something he will always do," emphasizing that she was working on her project at the Obama Presidential Center.
Why are they pointing to Jennifer Aniston as Barack Obama's lover and what has the actress responded?
The name of the famous actress Jennifer Aniston emerged amid rumors and sensational headlines suggesting distance between the Obamas, as some claimed they no longer lived under the same roof due to an alleged affair between the actress and the former president. The media outlet Who? Weekly mentioned the actress in the midst of the issue.
The actress came out to deny this type of rumors on the Jimmy Kimmel show, stating the following: "Of all the calls from my publicist, this one didn't upset me too much," she joked, but then added, "It's not true. I met him once, but I actually have more interaction with Michelle than with him," said Aniston.
Despite this, some media outlets such as 'In Touch' and 'Daily Mail' have fueled the rumors further with new headlines suggesting that there may have been some kind of relationship between the two.
It was now, last Friday, that the former president categorically denied the rumors and did so with a strong message on his social media, on the occasion of his wife's 61st birthday.
"Happy birthday to the love of my life. You fill every room with grace, humor, warmth, and wisdom. I am very fortunate to be able to face life's adventures with you. I love you," wrote the politician, accompanying the message with an image of them together at a table.
In addition to this, People magazine mentioned that Michelle’s absence at Donald Trump’s inauguration would have been more due to her political differences with the new president and not at all due to any personal or family crisis.
