Actor and comedian Kumail Nanjiani has definitively refuted any speculation linking him romantically with Michelle Obama, stating he has never even encountered her.
During a conversation on Caleb Hearon’s «So True» podcast, Nanjiani shared that while the rumor was baseless, he found it amusing when his wife, Emily Gordon, first brought it to his attention.
He recounted how a mutual acquaintance informed Gordon of the unfounded gossip, suggesting Nanjiani and Obama were involved.
Nanjiani’s ‘So True’ interview
Kumail Nanjiani found the circulating gossip amusing. He emphatically stated, «I have never met Michelle Obama,» definitively debunking the story. He also shared that his wife was unfazed by the rumors. Nanjiani, 47, is married to producer and writer Emily Gordon, whom he married in 2007. The conversation then shifted to the rumor about former President Barack Obama having a secret relationship with Jennifer Aniston. Hearon remarked to Nanjiani, «My friend Kumail, you’re in the same league as Jen Aniston when it comes to affair rumors.» Kumail lightheartedly suggested the Obamas were «settling» for their alleged partners, but he was quick to add, «No disrespect to Jen.»
Michelle, Barack and affair rumors
Aniston, whose name was connected to the former president, commented, «You receive so many calls from your publicist where you brace yourself, thinking, ‘Oh no, what’s coming next?’ or an email arrives stating, ‘Some low-brow publication is going to invent a story’… and then that’s precisely what happens. I wasn’t upset by it. That is entirely false.»
