Vincennifer? I just made that up… though, sadly, for fans of Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston I am not making up the news that the two have split. That’s right, it is now official: After more than a year together, Aniston and Vaughn have decided to part ways. “After Jennifer’s trip to London several weeks ago, Jennifer and Vince mutually agreed to end their relationship but continue to be good friends today,” the couple’s reps recently told PEOPLE magazine.
The statement comes after weeks of speculation that Aniston and Vaughn’s relationship had been facing some hardships. The tabloids have been documenting their time apart– Vaughn has been filming a movie in London since late September, while Aniston has been busy working in Los Angeles and recently doing theatre work in New York.
The distance may have made their hearts grow fonder… at first, as both made efforts to ensure the relationship remained on the front burner. You’ll remember, in October, Vaughn threatened to sue several tabloids that alleged he kissed a mystery blonde and had ended his relationship with Aniston. That same month the actress appeared on Oprah where she shot down rumors of a split. Then in late October there was the well-documented reunion the coupled shared in London (pictures of them sightseeing, etc.). Now less than six weeks later, word comes that the pair has indeed parted.
So, another high profile Hollywood couple bites the dust. Though this one did last more than a few months. Aniston and Vaughn began dating in the summer of 2005 while working on “The Break-Up.” in Chicago. It wasn’t long before rumors of a romance began swirling and the paparazzi staked out various hotspots trying to capture the elusive public display of affection. Photographers got what they were looking for in the fall of 2005 when the couple went “public” (or were outed)–they were spotted kissing and cuddling at various bars and restaurants.
Then there was the infamous Oprah/wedding rumor: In April, Aniston called in to “The Oprah Winfrey Show” to deny a tabloid report that Winfrey was planning an $8 million wedding for her and Vaughn. This latest announcement certainly seals the deal on the authenticity of that rumor.
Did you really think Aniston and Vaughn would make it down the aisle?
