It all started with InTouch Magazine’s latest cover story “The Truth About Jen and Barack”.
The magazine claimed the two were having an affair and Obama’s wife Michelle was “betrayed”.
“Oh, shut up!” Aniston said when Kimmel showed her the magazine.
“Of all the calls you get from your publicist where you’re just like ‘Oh no, what’s it gonna be?’ or you get an email saying some cheesy tabloid is gonna make up a story — and then it’s that,” she said with a laugh.
“I was not mad at it. That is absolutely untrue.”
The former Friends star said she only met the 44th president of the United States once and knows “Michelle more than him”.
Aniston and Michelle Obama both appeared together on The Ellen Show in 2018.
The actress has publicly expressed her support for the Obama family and shared a photo of Michelle Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris first-bumping at current President Joe Biden’s 2020 inauguration.
It comes as the Obamas celebrate their 32nd wedding anniversary with a social media photo of them embracing while visiting the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York on Friday morning.
“Happy anniversary, @MichelleObama! 32 years together, and I couldn’t have asked for a better partner and friend to go through life with,” Barack Obama said.
Michelle said: “32 action-packed years with my honey! Through it all, thank you for always having my back, being by my side, and finding ways to make me smile. I love you, Barack Obama.”
