Megyn Kelly recently addressed speculation regarding Barack and Michelle Obama’s marriage, citing sources in Washington, D.C. She referenced journalist Jessica Reed Kraus, who pointed out Michelle Obama’s absence at Jimmy Carter’s funeral and her decision to skip Donald Trump’s inauguration as potential signs of marital strain. Kraus also claimed that for months, she had heard rumors linking Jennifer Aniston’s name to Barack Obama.

Aniston swiftly denied the allegations, stating they were “absolutely untrue” and clarifying that she had only met Barack Obama once. Despite her denial, Kelly emphasized that “very serious journalists” had also heard whispers of a potential divorce. She remarked that if the rumors were true, it would be a “political earthquake,” noting that no former U.S. president has ever divorced after leaving office.

The speculation surrounding the Obamas’ marriage has gained traction, with some reports suggesting their inner circle of A-list friends has been forced to take sides. However, Barack and Michelle have continued to publicly show a united front, with Barack sharing a heartfelt message for Michelle’s birthday, expressing his deep love and appreciation.

The claims remain unverified, and many analysts caution against taking such rumors at face value, as they often originate from unreliable sources and are amplified by sensationalist media. As of now, no credible evidence supports the idea of any marital discord between Barack and Michelle Obama.
