Sacha Baron Cohen & Isla Fisher Hooked Up Courteney Cox With BF Johnny McDaid

Courteney Cox is forever grateful to Sacha Baron Cohen And Isla Fisher for helping her set up a date with her partner, Johnny McDaid.

In an interview on the SiriusXM radio show, she disclosed Cohen and his wife's hilarious role in hooking the duo in 2013.

Courteney began the story by saying that her friend Christa Miller invited Ed Sheeran to her house. The singer then asked her if he could have some friends over. She consented, and Ed invited many celebrities, including McDaid, Gary Lightbody, and Taylor Swift.

Courteney also invited a few of her friends, including Fisher, Cohen, and former co-star Jennifer Aniston.

"I remember seeing Johnny and going, 'Oh, wow. He's really intense.' He's got the eyes, and he's playing the piano."

Courteney then went on to tell Fisher of her instant crush on the musician, who in turn told Cohen about it.

"Sacha walks up to Snow Patrol musicians McDaid and Lightbody and says, 'Hey! Courteney wants to f--- one of you from Snow Patrol. And it's not you, Gary,' the actress reminisced jocularly.

Six months after they started dating, Courteney took to her social to announce her engagement, tweeting simply, "I'm engaged to him!"

The actress, who recently celebrated her 50th birthday, spoke to People about collaborating with her partner on her new film "Before I Go" and how supportive he has been.

"I've had a lot more support from him than him just being here tonight," Courteney told People at the film's April premiere. "Snow Patrol wrote three original songs for this movie. I'm really fortunate. It's amazing, all the musical things that he brought to it."

She chipped in of his contributions, "I couldn't be happier. It really elevates the film in so many ways."

Before they met, Courteney was previously married to actor David Arquette. However, they split in 2012 and share custody of their daughter, Coco.

As reported by People, the pair ended their engagement in 2015. According to a source, the reason for the halt was, "they've been having problems for a long time."

The actress spoke to People at the time of her engagement that her fiancé "has a sensitive soul," adding, "When I knew that this was just who he is, that he was just a beautiful, sensitive, loving person with a wonderful family, with a beautiful set of friends. Then I was like, 'This is for real.'"

Their last outing was in August of the same year after Courteney served as the maid of honor for her longtime friend and co-star, Jennifer Aniston.

McDaid posted that he and Courteney would be attending his band's mate performance in Los Angeles a day before the outing. "Nothing is what it seems!" he added.

A year after they broke off their engagement, the pair rekindled their romance, and they've been growing strong ever since.

Speaking to People, she opened up about their relationship, saying, "I've learned that love is precious. As I've gotten older, I've realized that."

She added that although they spent time apart during the pandemic, she could appreciate their longtime romance more.

"McDaid is a great listener. And I've never met someone more patient," Courteney began. "He's a great advice-giver. I love his heart, his intentions. His morals. He's extremely talented and obviously musical, but he's a poet and a writer. He's just so smart, and I find that really sexy. And then he is gorgeous."

Although Courteney is famously known for her role in "Friends" and "Scream," she has found another way to win the heart of her fans. The actress recently released her line of home products, known as "Homecourt."

The brand includes numerous fragrance-infused options such as hand washes, dish soaps, and surface cleaners.

"I care about the way everything looks, which is a blessing and a curse," Courteney told People of her inspiration for the brand. "You find yourself at home so much now that I was like, 'Why not make your home as important as you would yourself, your body, your face? So we decided to create a room spray, which is coming out later, a counter spray, dish soap, hand soap and hand lotion."
