Courteney Cox Quotes About Her Boyfriend Johnny McDaid

When it comes to her love life, Courteney Cox does not hold back from expressing how happy she is with her boyfriend, Johnny McDaid. The couple met in 2013 and got engaged the following year. After a brief breakup in 2015, they found their way back to each other and have been sharing the cutest details about their relationship ever since.

Though they previously called off their engagement, Courteney and Johnny reunited as boyfriend and girlfriend, a decision that felt like fate.

“I don’t know if you can put a label on what makes us work so well,” the Snow Patrol guitarist told Us Weekly in May 2016. “But I know that I’ve never loved like I love this woman. So if that’s enough, then that’s enough.”

Courteney echoed the same sentiment when she visited The Ellen DeGeneres Show in January 2019. She further explained their relationship dynamic and why they work so well together.

“He’s not my fiancé. We were engaged to be married, but now we’re just together,” she explained. “We broke off our engagement, and he moved to England, then we got back together and it’s actually better than it was before.”

The Friends alum and the musician also spend a lot of time with her daughter, Coco, whom she shares with her ex-husband, David Arquette. The trio have collaborated on several Instagram videos together, performing and singing at home. Spending quality time with family has always been important for Johnny, who was born and raised in Northern Ireland.

“You know we have a big family. I am one of six kids,” he told Us Weekly in October 2018. “We’re kind of growing as it is and Courtney and Coco often come over and we all have a big gathering.”

The Scream actress revealed she was not opposed to expanding her family with Johnny during a June 2017 interview with New Beauty.

“I would love to have a baby now,” she said. “I mean, I could carry someone else’s egg. I may be one of the older people doing it, but I would love to, with Johnny that is.”

On What She Loves About Johnny

Courteney had nothing but heartwarming things to say about her longtime love when she spoke to People in January 2022.

“He’s a great advice-giver. I love his heart, his intentions. His morals,” she gushed. “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.”

On How Johnny Makes Her Feel Beautiful

Despite their 12-year age difference, Courteney has always been confident that she found her perfect match.

“Well, he’s younger than me, and with any other guy that would be the hardest thing in the world, but looks are not that important to him or his family,” the director told New Beauty. “External beauty isn’t even on his radar. I used to worry about the age difference, but I don’t think it matters. He appreciates beauty, but it’s deeper than that. It’s deeper for me too, but luckily I find him gorgeous and extremely sexy.”

On a Special Memory

Courteney and Johnny have shared no shortage of special moments together throughout their relationship. She recalled a lovely day in New York City with the Grammy nominee.

“It’s gorgeous, cold and crisp. I was having dinner with one of my close friends, sitting at the bar at Elio’s eating the greatest Italian food and just had a ball,” the Golde Globe nominee told People in January 2019. “I just thought, ‘You know what? I’m at a great place in my life, I’m in New York with my guy and with my friend, and my daughter is safe at home,’ and everything just felt so good. I remember saying, ‘I love this moment.’”
