President Obama was spotted when he arrived alone in a chic new restaurant in Washington before attending Trump's second inauguration without his wife Michelle.
The 63-year-old Obama was received on Saturday with cheers and applause from the spectators when he arrived at the DC-Hotspot Osteria Mozza.
The grinning ex-president, however, did not seem fascinated by the absence of his 32-year-old wife, who also spread the funeral of President Carter without Pardon-in the midst of rumors about divorce.
Michelle's no-show at both events indeed comes as a wild wave of speculation in Hollywood and DC about a blockbuster affair between the charismatic former commander-in-chief and Friends star Jennifer Aniston.
Aniston, 55, was romantically linked to Obama last year in a story published in a cheap supermarket magazine – of which the front page stated that it contained 'the truth about Jen & Barack'.
This was exacerbated by the hosts of a popular pop culture podcast – who? Weekly – who claimed, without providing any evidence, that the Obama's “lived separate lives” while he and Aniston had an outright affair.
Although she seemed to be a filthy gossip, the iconic sitcom star appeared on American television in the evening to deny the claims, while giggling that she was 'not angry' on the story.
This is after reports that Michelle has skipped the inauguration of Trump because she refuses to be 'fake' about her hatred against Trump – without calling Carter's funeral, but critics have suggested that the marriage of her and Barack instead on the Clips runs.

One of those sources said that Obama – those two deadlines in the White House served before he transferred the Oval Office to Trump – was “very nice”, but “didn't take pictures with people.”
The restaurant, launched by the Philadelphia restorer Stephen Starr and the Californian chef Nancy Silverton, has quickly become a great success, with A-Listers, including Taylor Swift and her NFL star friend Travis Kelce, who eaten there.
Michelle, 61, has also eaten in the chic restaurant, where main courses between $ 34 and $ 175 cost.
According to Page Six, she organized a holiday dinner for 10 people in November for her team, only two weeks after the restaurant in the Georgetown district in Washington DC was opened.
A source had heard that the staff of the restaurant the former First Lady even told that she was the first person to book a private room, to which she reportedly answered: 'Well. Let's baptize it. “

But Obama, depicted in the restaurant, did not show any signs of stress due to the absence of his 32 -year -old wife, who refused to attend the inauguration after she had skipped the funeral of President Jimmy Carter without Pardon.
In recent weeks, Michelle has skipped Carter's memorial service because of a reported 'planning conflict' and refused to attend Trump's inauguration
“She has always been very aware of where and how she appears,” an insider told Page Six. “She reluctantly showed up before the elections. They were united, but they don't have to unite [Trump]. Her absence speaks volumes. “
But Michelle's absence has still fueled the rumors that “she is tired of the political circus and pretends that everything is fine with Barack,” said an insider.
“I was told that she was furious when she saw how her husband argued with Trump during Carter's funeral,” the source added.
A source that worked with the couple also admitted: 'They don't pretend to have a Camelot relationship. They don't try to show that they are a magical couple. “
Critics have speculated that the couple is separating, but Obama tried to put those rumors into the head by placing a powerful tribute to his wife, whom he described as the 'love of his life'.
However, some suspect that the post was an attempt to spread rumors that the relationship is in a shaky state.

Michelle skipped the funeral of President Jimmy Carter on January 9 without mercy. One of the most discussed moments in the commemoration was a clear moment of affection between Trump and Obama.
The Obama's have had to deal with rumors about affairs since they first came into the spotlight in the early 2000s – whereby their marriage was closely monitored during the two agency of the former president and then.
In 2013, the National Inquirer speculated that their then more than twenty years of marriage had been dissolved after a series of quarrels inspired by accusations of unfaithfulness and a radiant selfie that President Obama made with the Danish Prime Minister.
Photos from Barack that the selfie made with Helle Thorning -Schmidt – while Michelle is not very impressed – conquered the internet storm, with claims that the Obama's even changed seats to separate the two world leaders.
At the end of last year he was romantically linked to actress Jennifer Aniston published in an unfounded story in a gossip magazine – of which the front page stated that it contained 'the truth about Jen & Barack'.
This was exacerbated by the hosts of a popular pop culture podcast – who? Weekly – who claimed without evidence that the couple led 'separate lives' while he and Aniston had an outright affair.
The Hollywood A-Lister strongly denied the claims during a performance at Jimmy Kimmel Live! In October.

“Of all the phone calls you get from your publicist, you just think:” Oh no, what's going to be? ” Or you will receive an e -mail stating that some cheap tabloid will come up with a story – and then it is … '
“I wasn't angry with it,” she added giggling before she made it clear that the story is 'absolutely not true'.
“So the truth about Jen and Barack is that there is no truth?” confirmed kimmel.
Aniston continued: 'I met him [Obama] once. I know Michelle better than him. “
The presenter then asked on a joke: “Is there a truth about you and Michelle?”
“That's not true,” she said smiling.
In 2007, a Stared Hollywood-Gala would have been the first (and only time) that Aniston met Barack Obama in honor of the then upcoming young senator.
Photos taken during the event shows how she laughs with her arm around Michelle's medium, while the future First Lady shines to the camera and Morgan Freeman and other A-Listers enjoy the party behind them.
A VIP group participants-those who had at least twenty tickets to their name-was invited after the event to dine privately with the Obama's. It is unclear whether Aniston was among them.

When they had children for the first time, the couple had a fight, because Barack made a six -hour tour of his work in the Senate of Illinois, and sometimes days gone because of his job.
The Obama's have previously spoken frankly about their martial struggle, in which Michelle previously described the 'resentment' she had because she had to interrupt her career to become a mother, while Barack's flourishing.
Tensions only increased during their stay in the White House – thanks to the enormous' pressure 'that was accompanied by' the need to do everything well and to be 'on' at any time, and thanks to Barack's focus on work Instead of his family.
But even in the worst case, Obama explained to The Breakfast Club that they never made their arguments too ugly – and that they always 'respected' each other.
And he made it clear that even if they argued, he never considered a divorce.
“We were pretty good, even if it was difficult, we never lose the fundamental respect for the other,” he said. “We never thought that person was a bad person. We have never said things that makes it look like you don't respect me at all.
“It was more:” I love you, Barack, but this makes me crazy, “or:” I respect you, but … “I think that stopped us, because we never doubted each other's intentions.
“Michelle is a special woman. Even though she sometimes drives me crazy, I never thought there was anyone with whom I would rather be together. “
