Courteney Cox Can't Stop Gushing About Her BF On 8-Year Anniversary

Even after eight years, Courteney Cox and her boyfriend are still in a good place. According to a report by People, she gushed about what he meant to her.

 "He's a great advice-giver. I love his heart, his intentions. His morals," Cox began. "He's extremely talented and musical, but he's a poet and a writer. He's just so smart, and I find that sexy. And then he is gorgeous." 

As if those weren't the only adjectives enough to describe her Northern Irish beau, she added he is also "a great listener" and the most "patient" person she's ever met.

As she grows older, she understands the importance of love. "I've learned that love is precious." The pair spent months apart quarantined in different states early in the pandemic. "It's been 133 days since we were last together. Covid sucks," Cox posted on Instagram on July 24, 2020. 

Although it put their love to the test, this also made them stronger. "7 years ago today, I had my first date with this incredible man, and my life was changed forever," Cox captioned a late 2020 Instagram post.

Shortly after her divorce from David Arquette in 2013, Cox found love again. She was first spotted with Johnny McDaid, as reported by the Irish Mirror. They decided to take the relationship to the next level around Christmas when McDaid was her date to Jenifer Aniston's annual bash.

Since then, they've been together, and though their road hasn't been smooth, they have experienced love and have learned to separate the wheat from the chaff while focusing on what's important.

The pair got engaged in 2014 after dating for six months. In 2015, People recorded that they had split.

Although they managed to get back together romantically in 2016, she confirmed in 2019 that they were not engaged again.

'He's not my fiance, we were engaged to be married, but now we're just together,' she explained when she featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Cox shares 17-year-old daughter Coco with her ex-husband David Arquette; meanwhile, Snow Patrol Rocker McDaid has never been married and does not have any kids.

According to the "Friends" alum, she divulged that her relationship was better now that they weren't engaged anymore.

"Isn't that strange? We broke off our engagement, and he moved to England, then we got back together, and it's better than before. Everything is better," she said to Ellen. "Not because he's in London, although the distance after that breakup - we were apart for six months - that showed us a lot, and it's just better."

She added that she was still enamored of her long-time boyfriend but admitted that it could be a bit expensive since it was long-distance and they had to travel to see each other.

"I mean, it's expensive, it's an expensive relationship, we go back and forth a lot. He's incredible. He's also an incredible writer. He writes tons of music," she concluded.

In the new issue of People, she addressed whether she'll ever get married. "I don't know. I'm not opposed to it. I don't think about it."

Cox was last seen in "Friends: The Reunion," also entitled "The One Where They Get Back Together." 

The reunion special episode was broadcast on May 27, 2021, and hosted by James Corden. It featured all the cast members from Friends and guests including David Beckham, Justin Bieber, BTS, Cindy Crawford, and Cara Delevingne. 

For her next act, Cox will next be seen in the upcoming horror movie titled "Scream," where she will play the role of Gale Weathers. The film is in post-production and will premiere later in the new year.

Apart from this, Cox will be featured in a lead role on the show "Last Chance U." She is an executive producer and will also be playing the lead in a horror movie, "Shining Vale."

Other ensembles of actors in the movie include Dylan Gage, Sherilyn Fenn, Gus Birney, Merrin Dungey, Mira Sorvino, and Greg Kinnear. 

Courteney Cox, born on June 15, 1964, is an American director, actress, and producer. She got into stardom for her role as Monica Geller in "Friends."

She bagged seven Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for her performance in the series and won one.

She's the daughter of businessman Richard Lewis Cox and Courteney Copeland. The pair divorced in 1974, and mother went on to marry businessman Hunter Copeland.

After graduating from Mountain Brook High School, Cox left for Mount Vernon College in Washington, D.C. However, she did not complete her architecture course but opted to pursue a career in acting and modeling.
