Jennifer Aniston has dismissed as "absolutely untrue" the outlandish rumors of an alleged affair with former US President Barack Obama. The actress was caught off guard when her publicist informed her of the false claims published in a US magazine.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Jennifer recalled: "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 makeup a story – and then it's that … I was not mad at it. No that is absolutely untrue … It is untrue."
When Jimmy pressed for more information, Jennifer clarified: "There is no truth. I've met him [Obama] once. I know [his wife] Michelle more than him."

The conversation took a humorous turn as Jimmy inquired about other bizarre gossip, including whether she had tried a "salmon sperm facial."
Jennifer confirmed with a laugh: "I did. But it's not like how you get sperm out of a salmon. It was sort of unclear. I just took the woman's word that wasn't it was and was like: 'Sure! ' …" She joked further: "Don't I look like a salmon? Don't I have beautiful salmon skin? ". Jennifer denied spending $4,000 on a water filter for her dogs, but she did confess to one unusual travel habit: she never flies without her personal jar of olives.
Jimmy then asked, "You have a ziplock bag filled with your dead therapists ashes? " Jennifer seemed surprised before replying, "It's a little true. Oh I'm going to sound like a really need a therapist after this."
She also revealed that she was once approached by an overly enthusiastic fan while naked in a sauna, adding, "[They also asked for a] picture. It didn't happen. I absolutely said no."
Jennifer's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel comes after the renowned TV star criticized Donald Trump's running mate JD Vance for labeling childless women as "miserable" and "cat ladies". The 55 year old actress shared a story on Instagram featuring a video of Vance speaking to Tucker Carson on Fox News.
In the video, Vance states, "We've turned our country over to people who don't really have a direct stake in it. We're effectively run in this country, via the Democrats and via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies, who are miserable about their own lives and the choices that they've made. So they want to make the rest of the country miserable too."
Jennifer shared a video with a caption expressing disbelief that such comments could come from a potential vice president of the US. She criticized Vance's anti-IVF stance at the end of her post, expressing hope that his daughter "will not need to turn to IVF".
Her post read: "I truly can't believe this is coming from a potential VP of the United States. All I can say is, Mr Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day. I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her too."
Following her post, Jennifer shared a video of Vice President Kamala Harris questioning US Supreme Court associate justice Brett Kavanaugh about any laws that allow the government to make decisions about the male body. Jennifer, who was previously married to actors Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux and does not have any children, revealed to Allure magazine in 2022 that she had undergone IVF in her 30s and 40s to try to conceive, but the attempts were unsuccessful.
