Amid the speculations of the separation of Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, a new rumour has cropped up linking the former president to the Friends actor Jennifer Aniston. A magazine earlier did a cover story on this linkup, but recently, social media has been rife with discussions, with some claiming that they are dating each other. A new photo amid this has attracted people’s attention. It shows Obama dining at a DC restaurant. Reportedly, the photo was taken before he attended Donald Trump’s second inauguration. An event in which his wife, Michelle Obama, didn’t accompany him.
“Cheered by diners”
According to the New York Post, the diners at the restaurant couldn’t control their excitement after the former US president walked inside. They cheered for him at the hip Washington, DC restaurant. “Whoo!” said most while applauding and shouting as the 63-year-old politician entered the restaurant. A woman was also heard shouting, “We miss you!”
