FRIENDS star Jennifer Aniston had a rough time dealing with her very public divorce from Brad Pitt. Not only because she was still allegedly in love with him, but because the reason for the divorce happened to be him dumping her for Angelina Jolie.
What finally came as a breakthrough in those bleak days for her was her movie The Break-Up. Working on quite a similar plot of what she was experiencing in real life, helped her a lot to process things better. In fact, the rom-com even helped her move forward in her life by giving the situation a lighter take.
There was another thing though, that really helped her move on with her life. Namely, her blooming friendship with co-star Vince Vaughn on the set. However, an incident during that short period when they became romantically involved, made Aniston question again, whether she really made the right choice this time.
Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn’s short dating phase
The former couple started dating during the filming of their 2006 rom-com flick. Jennifer Aniston, who was heartbroken at the time following the tough divorce, found her first dose of happiness so to say on the set after meeting Vaughn.
The actress claimed, “I call Vince my defibrillator. He literally brought me back to life.” She continued further, explaining how the actor helped her pull through, saying,
“My first gasp of air was a big laugh! It was great. I love him. He’s a bull in a china shop. He was lovely and fun and perfect for the time we had together. And I needed that.”
However, she also noted that the relationship sort of ran its course and both of them seemed content about it. Vaughn too once noted that he had trouble dealing with the constant attention their relationship brought with it.
Be it the media or the public, they never really could be completely alone and that took a toll on him. According to him, Vaughn noted,
“Laying low and not talking about it put me in a good position later, because I just wasn’t part of anything.”
However, in the short time they were together, they seemingly spared no expenses to enjoy their life to the fullest. In fact, they even spent their Thanksgiving holiday together in Arizona in a luxurious $2000 per-night resort according to reports. However, an incident while returning from the resort, allegedly put a damper on their relationship.
Jennifer Aniston felt uncomfortable with Vince Vaughn
The happy couple while returning from their trip to Arizona apparently got pulled over by the cops. The allegations were that Vaughn was driving under the influence, which resulted in them violating traffic rules.
As a result, they got pulled over by the cops on a busy road with witnesses around. According to those witnesses, Vaughn had to even come out of the car to take a sobriety test when the officer smelled alcohol in the car.
Thankfully for them though, his blood alcohol level was determined to be under the legal .08 percent, so no serious issues arose after that.
However, they were asked to leave their car in a nearby parking lot and have one of their friends pick them up from there. According to a report, Vaughn’s representative had no comments on the incident after the news broke.
Thankfully, the incident did not result in any serious consequences and they both seemingly enjoyed the rest of their relationship until their amicable breakup a few short months later.
