  • Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn romance

Jennifer Aniston’s ex-boyfriend revealed a crucial detail about dating her.

After Aniston and Bradd Pitt’s divorce, the “Murder Mystery” actress was linked to actor Vince Vaughn. Aniston and Vaughn met on the set of their 2006 film “The Break-Up.” Their chemistry carried over off screen and into a dating relationship. However, their romance didn’t last long.

In a 2015 interview with Playboy, Vaughn revealed what he didn’t like when he was dating Aniston. The “Wedding Crashers” star had nothing but praises for Aniston, but he confessed that it was challenging to keep their romance private due to his ex-girlfriend’s popularity.

“For me personally — and I think most well-known actors who are together feel this way — I never enjoyed the paparazzi side of it,” Vaughn said.

“You like someone and you’re spending time with them; that’s separate and that was all fine. But I really spent most of that time finding ways not to be drawn into the attention.”

For Vaughn, his strategy was to lay low and not talk about it. In that way, he was put in a good position later because when people started talking about it he was no longer part of it.

As for Aniston, the “Cake” actress revealed in her interview with Vogue in 2008 that Vaugn was her “defibrillator.” The actress shared that Vaughn brought her back to life and he was what she needed when he arrived in her life.

“He was lovely and fun and perfect for the time we had together. And I needed that. And it sort of ran its course,” Aniston told Vogue.

Aniston remains good friends with her exes. In fact, Pitt was present when she celebrated her 50th birthday earlier this year. She was also with her second ex-husband Justin Theroux for Thanksgiving.

There are rumors that Aniston and Theroux are already back together. However, fans should take those reports with a grain of salt since the two have just remained close following their separation. “The Leftover” actor even said that they had the most gentle separation.
