Vaughn is filing a "legal complaint" against British newspapers, The Sun and the Daily Mirror, as well as the New York Post, stated his London law firm, Schillings. The statement explains that these newspapers "published allegations that [Vaughn] was caught kissing a mystery blonde whilst attending a charity event on Sunday [Oct. 8] at London's Old Vic theatre. Mr Vaughn will say that the articles suggested that he was unfaithful to Ms Aniston, with whom he had allegedly ended his relationship only a week before."

The statement also serves as the first official acknowledgement of the couple’s relationship and denies that Jennifer and Vince have split up. It says, “Ms. Aniston and Mr. Vaughn had not ended their relationship either at the material time or since… The suggestion that he was having a passionate embrace and kiss, or has ever been unfaithful to Ms. Aniston, are false."
