Nanjiani was amused by the situation and the rumor going around. He stressed, "I have never met Michelle Obama,” putting to rest the claim once and for all.
He mentioned that his wife was not at all upset with the rumors. The actor, 47, is married to producer and writer Emily Gordon, whom he wed in 2007.
The allegation that former President Barack Obama was secretly seeing Jennifer Aniston was the next topic of discussion between Nanjiani and Hearon.
Hearon said, “What I’m saying is, my friend Kumail, you’re up there with Jen Aniston in terms of affair rumors. ” Kumail joked that the Obamas were "slumming it" with their purported lovers, but he also said, "No shade to Jen."

Celebrity tabloids and gossip have had a bad history of introducing completely baseless rumors.
Since their 1992 marriage, Barack and Michelle have been the focus of persistent divorce rumors, particularly in recent years.
The long-term couple appears to be blissfully married despite the baseless rumors of cheating and leading "separate lives," as they continue to post romantic pictures of themselves on social media.
Aniston, who was linked with the former president, said, “Of all the calls you get from your publicist where you’re just like, 'Oh no, what’s it going to be?' or the email saying, 'Some cheesy tabloid is going to make up a story'… and then it’s that. I was not mad at it. That is absolutely untrue.”
