  • A famous couple is reportedly no longer together
  • A long-standing romance
  • A couple of artists
  • They've reportedly moved on

According to reports from People magazine and the Daily Mail, Courteney Cox and Johnny McDaid have reportedly ended their relationship after about ten years together. The actress, known worldwide for her role as Monica Geller on the series Friends, and the musician from the band Snow Patrol were one of the longest-lasting and most private couples in Hollywood.

According to the same sources, the split reportedly took place privately at the end of last year. Despite the end of their romantic relationship, the two artists seem to have maintained a relationship marked by respect and affection.

A source close to the couple told the Daily Mail: “Johnny speaks very highly of Courteney. They had a very deep relationship and remain on excellent terms. They are very good friends and care deeply for one another.”

The same source added that the split was not the result of a conflict, but rather a natural evolution of their respective lives: “It wasn't a messy breakup. They had simply reached a point where they were leading different lives.”

As a reminder, the couple had already gone through a breakup in 2015 before reconciling a few months later and continuing their relationship for several years. Their relationship had thus experienced several ups and downs before this possible new separation.

As of this writing, no other source has officially confirmed this breakup.

A Long-Term Relationship

Courteney Cox and Johnny McDaid met in 2013 after being introduced by mutual friends, including singer Ed Sheeran. The musician, a longtime friend and collaborator of Ed Sheeran, has co-written several of the British star's hits, including “Shape of You,” “Bad Habits,” and “Shivers.”

A romantic relationship quickly developed between the actress and the musician. The couple got engaged the very next year, before breaking up for the first time in late 2015. Despite this split, they ultimately decided to give their relationship a second chance in 2016, continuing their romance for several more years, until their recent breakup.

Since the end of their relationship, Courteney Cox and Johnny McDaid have reportedly both moved on and gone their separate ways. According to some reports, the musician may even be in the early stages of a new romance.

For her part, Courteney Cox was recently spotted in New York with Greg Kinnear, her co-star on the series Shining Vale. The actor reportedly stayed at her apartment, fueling some speculation. However, the two actors, who play a married couple in this satirical horror comedy, were keen to clarify the situation by stating that they are just good friends in real life.
