Courteney Cox had a very special reason to celebrate this week as her partner Johnny McDaid turned 48 years old. The actress and the Snow Patrol singer have been together for over a decade, having met at a party hosted by Courteney at her house in 2013. In honor of Johnny’s birthday, Courteney took to Instagram to share a series of candid photos of the musician. The images included moments of them cozying up to each other, Johnny performing on stage, co-piloting a small airplane, and enjoying a fishing trip together.
Courteney’s best friend and former co-star Jennifer Aniston, along with other celebrity friends, flooded the comments section of her post with congratulatory messages for Johnny. Jennifer Aniston wrote, “Happy Birthday JMD!” while Ali Wentworth added, “Come ON!!!!!” with a string of red heart emojis. Rita Wilson also joined in, saying, “Happy Birthday!!!!” Fans also chimed in with messages like, “Y’all are the cutest couple ever!!” and, “Awww gorgeous couple! Happy birthday to him,” showing their love and support for the couple.
In a sweet Instagram post last September, Courteney shared a series of photos of her and Johnny over the years, crediting their close friend Ed Sheeran for playing matchmaker. Ed introduced them at a party, which eventually led to their long-lasting relationship. Despite a brief engagement in 2014 that was called off, Courteney and Johnny have continued to stay together and support each other through the years.
Before Johnny, Courteney was married to her former Scream co-star David Arquette, with whom she shares a daughter named Coco. The couple separated in 2010, and their divorce was finalized in 2013. David went on to marry producer Christina McLarty in 2015 and they have two sons together. Despite their past, Courteney and David have remained friends and co-parents, showing that their bond goes beyond their romantic history.
Courteney Cox’s heartfelt tribute to Johnny McDaid on his 48th birthday showcases the deep connection they share after more than ten years together. Their journey as a couple, supported by friends like Ed Sheeran and Jennifer Aniston, is a testament to the enduring power of love and friendship in Hollywood. As they continue to navigate life’s ups and downs, Courteney and Johnny stand strong together, proving that true love knows no bounds.
