Courtney Cox and Johnny McDaid End Decade-Long Relationship Amicably

Courtney Cox, best known for her role as Monica Geller on Friends, and her partner of over a decade, Johnny McDaid, have quietly ended their relationship. Reports indicate the split occurred at the end of 2025 but was kept private until recently. Sources close to the couple confirmed the separation was amicable, explaining that they simply grew apart and were at different places in their lives. A friend noted that McDaid speaks highly of Cox and that they remain good friends who care deeply for each other.

Cox, 62, lives in Los Angeles, while McDaid, 49, resides in London. Despite the long-distance arrangement working for some time, they divided their time between the US and the UK. The couple first met in 2013 through mutual friends, including singer Ed Sheeran. McDaid, a successful songwriter behind hits like "Shape of You," "Bad Habits," and "Shivers," is a close friend of Sheeran.

After starting their relationship in 2013, Cox and McDaid announced their engagement in 2014 but broke up later in 2015. They reconciled in 2016 and remained together until their recent split. Since the separation over six months ago, both have reportedly moved on, with McDaid rumored to be starting a new relationship and Cox seen with actor Greg Kinnear on several occasions.
