After more than a decade together, the former flames have allegedly called it quits, per Daily Mail.
According to the outlet, Cox, 62, and McDaid, 49, amicably split late last year. Pals of their pair shared that the breakup wasn’t “ugly,” but that the duo was living “different lives.”
One friend told Daily Mail, “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.”
Page Six reached out to reps for Cox and McDaid comment.
The Snow Patrol musician and “Friends” star first met at a house party hosted by the latter in 2013.
“I remember seeing Johnny and going, ‘Oh, wow. He’s really intense.’ He’s got the eyes, and he’s playing the piano,” Cox said.
“And I thought ‘Oh he’s really really handsome,'” Cox recounted while on “The Howard Stern Show” in 2022.
By 2014, the Northern Irish singer popped the question to the “Cougar Town” alum.
“I’m engaged to him!” Cox tweeted beneath a selfie at the time.
Several months later, in 2015, McDaid told People, “I just want to be with this woman for the rest of my life. That is all that matters. The ceremonies are academic.”
