Vince Vaughn talks about his relationship with 'great' ex-girlfriend Jennifer Aniston
They split over eight years ago, but it appears Vince Vaughn is finally ready to talk about his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Aniston. The actor said his former girlfriend is "great" but admitted he struggled with the attention their relationship attracted.
"She's great," Vince told magazine. "For me personally – and I think most well-known actors who are together feel this way – I never enjoyed the paparazzi side of it.
"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."
Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston dated for over a year
The 44-year-old said that he felt avoiding the press attention helped him to deal with their split better.
"I think laying low and not talking about it put me in a good position later, because I just wasn't part of anything."
Vince and Jennifer dated for over a year after filming romantic comedy together. It was Jennifer's first high-profile relationship following her divorce from Brad Pitt, and understandably the public were fascinated by their romance.
The couple confirmed their break-up in December 2006 and said that they continued to be "good friends".
The former couple met while filming
Vince went on to marry Kyla Weber in 2010 and the couple have two children together – four-year-old daughter Lochlyn Kyla Vaughn and 18-month-old son Vernon Lindsay Vaughn.
The actor described married life as "terrific", but told the magazine, "it's the hardest thing I think you'll ever do. You have to really work at it and want it".
Meanwhile Jennifer has been engaged to fellow actor Justin Theroux since August 2012. The 46-year-old has often spoke about her frustration at the level of media interest in their relationship and revealed that she and Justin have found a way to deal with the constant speculation. "We know what our truth is," the star explained in January. "That's all just static."
