Amid rumors of his divorce from Michelle Obama and wild speculation about his relationship with Jennifer Aniston, Barack Obama arrived at an upscale restaurant to dine alone.
Amid rumors of a separation between Barack and Michelle Obama, a new rumor has surfaced linking the former president to Friends actor Jennifer Aniston. A magazine previously featured the relationship on its cover, but recently there has been a lot of discussion on social media, with some people claiming that the two may be dating. Meanwhile, a new photo is attracting attention. It depicts President Obama eating at a restaurant in Washington, DC. The photo was reportedly taken before attending President Donald Trump’s second inauguration. His wife, Michelle Obama, did not accompany him to the event.

“Cheers from the diners”
According to the New York Post, diners at the restaurant could hardly contain their excitement after the former US president walked in. They cheered him on at a fancy restaurant in Washington, D.C. “Wow!” the 63-year-old politician said as he walked into the restaurant to applause and shouts. A woman’s voice could be heard shouting, “I missed you!”
The newspaper reported that President Obama was also seen waving to fans seated at tables at the restaurant. He visited a restaurant that serves “California-style” pasta dishes and dry-aged bistecca alla Fiorentina.
What is an outlandish rumor?
On January 15th, American author Jessica Reid Krauss posted on her Substack about Michelle Obama’s absence from Jimmy Carter’s funeral. The post, shared before Trump’s inauguration, also mentioned that the former first lady did not attend the swearing-in ceremony. Krause said these events “confirmed that something was going on between her (Jennifer Aniston) and Barack.”
The author also claimed that she received a DM from someone claiming that Jennifer Aniston had told her “inner circle” that she was dating the politician.
“Birthday Celebration”
A few days earlier, Barack Obama wished his wife a happy birthday on Instagram amid rumors. “Happy birthday to the love of my life,” he wrote, sharing a photo of them holding hands over dinner.
