Rumors about a possible crisis in Michelle and Barack Obama's marriage have been dispelled by the former president, who congratulated his wife on her birthday through social media. In recent weeks, speculation has arisen regarding the couple's alleged separation, pointing to actress Jennifer Aniston as the third party involved.
The rumors gained traction due to Michelle Obama's absence from important events, such as the funeral of former president Jimmy Carter and Donald Trump's presidential inauguration. Her decision to continue her vacation in Hawaii instead of attending Carter's funeral led to claims of possible tensions in her relationship with Trump.
Jennifer Aniston was drawn into the speculation after being accused of being the reason behind the marital crisis. However, representatives for the Obama family clarified that Michelle's absence was due to a scheduling conflict. Aniston denied the rumors, stating that she is closer to Michelle than to former president Obama.
On Jimmy Kimmel's show, the 'Friends' actress said: "It's not true. You fill every room with warmth, wisdom, humor, and grace - and you look good doing it. I'm so lucky to embark on life's adventures with you. I love you!"
