Former President Barack Obama was cheered by diners when he arrived at a hip Washington, DC, restaurant without his wife, Michelle this week — as wild unfounded rumors swirled about a possible romance with actress Jennifer Aniston.

The former first lady has made headlines for absences at recent public events, from Jimmy Carter’s funeral to President Trump’s inauguration.

Things started doing the rounds when last year when InTouch magazine published an article "The Truth About Jen & Barack". It went viral instantly along with the rumours of "possible issues" between Barack and Michelle Obama.
