They had a very deep relationship and they remain extremely amicable. They are great friends and care about each other very much.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was not an ugly split. They had simply reached a point where they were living different lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Courteney is best known for her role as Monica Gellar in sitcom Friends and her portrayal of Gale Weathers in the Scream film franchise.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe was previously married to her Scream co-star David Arquette and the couple share daughter Coco, 22, together.<\/p>\n<p>\nCourteney and David got married in June 1999, officially separated in October 2010 and their divorce went through in May 2013.<\/p>\n<p>\nSpeaking previously on NBC\u2019s Running Wild With Bear Grylls, Courteney opened up about the split, saying: &#8220;I think that we were such good friends. We found ourselves leading separate lives and just coexisting and being great friends, but not having the intimacy that&#8230;is so important in a relationship. I think you really need to work in a relationship, and I think that we tried. We&#8217;re just really different, too. I&#8217;m the polar opposite of him. That can be great for a lot of things, but I need this kind of real, one-on-one connection. And I don&#8217;t know. I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t a dramatic ending. It was more of a&#8230;just, I don&#8217;t know. I&#8217;ve really been&#8230;No one&#8217;s ever asked me in this way, so I haven&#8217;t really thought about it like this,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I mean, as divorces go, I would say it&#8217;s one of the better ones. For sure. We&#8217;re good co-parents together.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nCourteney and Johnny got engaged in 2014 after six months of dating but split the following year.<\/p>\n<p>\nThey reconciled in 2016 and Courteney insisted they were both determined to make the relationship work.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe told Bear Grylls: &#8220;We were engaged for over a year and then we broke up. There&#8217;s something about&#8230;you know, he&#8217;s from Ireland. And the way he regards love is precious. We have to treat it in a different way. It&#8217;s more special. You coddle it. So, I didn&#8217;t know how to regard love the way he does. And it definitely made a lot of mistakes that I see, whether it&#8217;s co-dependency or people-pleasing. I didn&#8217;t know how to bring it in. It was always external. I definitely have learned a lot, and no matter what, I will be a better person from that breakup, even though it was so brutal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThey were first introduced by mutual friends, including Ed Sheeran, whom Johnny has worked with on songs including Shape Of You, Photograph, Galway Girl, Bad Habits, and Shivers.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/courteney-cox-johnny-mcdaid-split-after-10-years-together-1446626.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>27 June 2026 Courteney Cox and Johnny McDaid have reportedly split after more than 10 years together.
