Friends star Courteney Cox has reportedly split from Snow Patrol musician and Belfast star Johnny McDaid after more than a decade together, with the couple having previously been engaged
Courteney Cox has reportedly called time on her romance with Johnny McDaid.
The 62 year old star, best known for playing Monica Geller in Friends, has been in a relationship with Snow Patrol rocker Johnny, 49, since 2013, having got engaged over a decade ago.
But it emerged on Saturday that the pair have parted ways, though sources have stressed it wasn’t an “ugly split” at all.
An insider told The Mail on Sunday: “Johnny speaks incredibly highly of Courteney. They had a very deep relationship and they remain extremely amicable. They are great friends and care about each other very much.
“This was not an ugly split. They had simply reached a point where they were living different lives.”
It’s believed Johnny has started seeing someone new, with his last public appearance with Courteney – who is mum to 22 year old daughter Coco with ex-husband David Arquette – happening in September at the US Open.
Just weeks before that outing, the now-separated couple were spotted enjoying a night out with Jennifer Aniston and her other half Jim Curtis, reports the Mirror, reports RSVP Live.
Courteney, who also portrays Gail Weathers in the Scream franchise, first met Johnny at a Los Angeles party through their shared pal Ed Sheeran. In 2024, the actress revealed that Johnny had previously terminated their relationship at the very start of a couples therapy appointment they were attending together.
During an appearance on the Minnie Questions podcast, she confided in Minnie Driver, saying: “We went to this therapist to talk about our boundaries – what we could and couldn’t accept of each other.
“I was like, ‘what?’
“And we were engaged. And I was so shocked. I was in so much pain. I also don’t like surprises!
“There was that much that needed to be dealt with, that he had to protect himself around his heart.”
The couple eventually navigated through their troubles and, despite calling off their engagement, maintained their relationship – until their recent separation.
