Washington, D.C. has been consumed by speculation about the Obamas’ impending divorce.
But how this gossip mill started could be the real story.
And Megyn Kelly revealed who leaked the rumor of Barack Obama’s affair with this Hollywood star.
Megyn Kelly’s take on the Obama divorce speculation
Puck’s Tara Palmeri and Meghan McCain dropped a bombshell when on Palmeri’s podcast the two discussed how the behind-the-scenes scuttlebutt from reputable reporters was that Barack and Michelle Obama were headed toward divorce.
“Fast and furious loud, I have been hearing this rumor that the Obamas are getting a divorce by reputable people. I’m not talking about TMZ. I’m not talking about Perez Hilton, although I love him, he’s my friend. I’m talking about like very serious journalists telling me that they’re hearing that the Obama divorce rumors are true,” McCain stated.
“But yeah, we’ve heard that for a long time. Like I just heard that they live separate lives,” Palmeri replied.
Megyn Kelly told listeners to her podcast that a Presidential divorce would be unprecedented in modern American history.
“I do not know whether this is true at all. But if it is true, it truly would be a political earthquake in Democrat circles, never mind America. I don’t remember a presidential divorce in modern history,” Kelly stated.
Kelly then said some hints could be found in the now infamous anniversary photo Barack Obama posted where Michelle Obama looked horrible.
“Did you see the post he put out to celebrate their anniversary? He chose the least attractive photo of her that’s ever been released. I mean, this is just wrong,” Kelly added.
Happy birthday to the love of my life, @MichelleObama. You fill every room with warmth, wisdom, humor, and grace – and you look good doing it. I’m so lucky to be able to take on life’s adventures with you. Love you! pic.twitter.com/WTrvxlNVa4

Kelly noted that Barack Obama looked great and the two were separated across the table and barely making any physical contact.
“They’re about 20 feet apart in this intimate dinner. And he looks great. This is classic. He’s like, this is a great picture. He’s got the 1000-watt smile. She looks terrible,” Kelly continued.
Palmeri and McCain also pointed to this photo as evidence the two may be on the outs saying it looked like a staged celebrity couple photo that gets released to the public for appearances sake to promote a movie the two are in.
Adding fuel to the fire were the rumors that Barack Obama was having an affair with Friends star Jennifer Aniston.
One of Kelly’s guests floated the idea that the source of that rumor was someone in the Biden camp as a way to get revenge on Barack Obama for working behind the scenes to push Joe Biden to end his re-election campaign following the debate with Donald Trump.
“This is next level, just to be clear, you are suggesting that maybe something is going on between Barack and Jennifer and The Bidens are leaking it!” Kelly squealed.
