According to Daily Mail, Courteney Cox And Johnny McDaid quietly went their separate ways late last year. While neither Cox nor McDaid has publicly addressed the reports, sources claimed the split was mutual and that they continue to share a strong bond. A friend of the former couple told the publication there was no bad blood between them despite ending their relationship."Johnny speaks incredibly highly of Courteney. They had a very deep relationship and they remain extremely amicable. They are great friends and care about each other very much. This was not an ugly split. They had simply reached a point where they were living different lives," the friend shared.

The report stated that one of the biggest challenges in their relationship was the distance. Cox, best known for playing Monica Geller in FRIENDS, is based in Los Angeles, while McDaid spends much of his time in London. Over the years, they maintained a long-distance relationship by dividing their time between the US and the UK.
