Courteney Cox and Johnny McDaid broke up at the end of last year, and now their close friends have confirmed the news and revealed what kind of relationship they had and the reason for the breakup.
For years, they were known as one of the most stable Hollywood couples, but the love of the actress Courteney Cox (62) and a musician Johnny McDaid (49) did not stand the test of time. The star of the series “Friends” and the member of the band Snow Patrol, after more than a decade of relationship, allegedly broke up at the end of last year, and close friends claim that they remained in a very good relationship. The couple, who were engaged for a time, broke up completely amicably, and the reason for the breakup was not any conflict, but the fact that over time they began to live different lives.
“Courteney and Johnny still have a lot of respect for each other. They had a very deep connection and remain on great terms. They are still great friends and genuinely care for each other. This wasn’t an ugly breakup, they just came to a point where their paths in life diverged,” said their friend, writes Charlotte Griffiths for Daily Mail.
Courteney, who is remembered by millions of viewers as the legendary Monica Geller from the beloved “Friends”, lives in Los Angeles, while Johnny has mostly stayed in London in recent years. Although they spent time and lived between the United States of America and the United Kingdom, the distance seems to have taken its toll over time. Their love story began in 2013, after they were introduced by mutual friends, among whom was the musician Ed Sheeran. Johnny is one of his long-time friends and collaborators and has been involved in the creation of some of his biggest hits, including “Shape of You”, “Photograph”, “Galway Girl”, “Bad Habits” and “Shivers”. Already a year after the beginning of the relationship, they announced their engagement, but at the end of 2015 they broke up for a while. They reconciled in 2016, and their relationship has since seemed more stable than ever.
Courteney has admitted on several occasions that it was this temporary break that strengthened their relationship and that she is grateful for the experience they went through. On the other hand, Johnny has often emphasized how lucky he considers himself to be in a relationship with the actress. They were last seen together last August on a double date in Malibu, where they were accompanied by Courteney’s “Friends” co-star. Jennifer Aniston and her partner Jim Curtis.
According to foreign media, both continued after the break. Johnny has reportedly started a new relationship, while Courteney was recently spotted in New York with her “Shining Vale” co-star. Greg Kinnear. Although there were rumors about their possible romance, the actors emphasized that they are just close friends. Courteney remained on very good terms with her ex-husband David Arquette, with whom she has a daughter Coco. The two have successfully cooperated as parents for years and often emphasize that their daughter’s well-being is always their first priority.
