“Friends” actor Courteney Cox was allegedly warned about her ex-boyfriend. According to a source, her pals have reportedly been telling her over the years that Johnny McDaid had “one foot out the door.” Despite the warnings, the actress continued her relationship with him for 13 years. However, they had a brief breakup in 2015 before reconciling the following year.
Sources claim Courteney Cox ignored friends’ warnings about Johnny McDaid for years
“Friends” actor Courteney Cox allegedly ignored her pals’ warning about her ex-partner, Johnny McDaid. “For so long, everyone told Courteney that Johnny was a free spirit who had one foot out the door the whole time they were together,” a source told RadarOnline. They claimed that the “Scream” alum hoped someday the rock star might take the next step in their relationship.
Unfortunately, it didn’t reportedly happen, which has left Cox “pretty demoralized” during this tough phase. For those unversed, the duo started dating in 2013 and got engaged the following year. Trouble in paradise reportedly began when Cox insisted on going to couples therapy.
“We went to this therapist to talk about our boundaries, what we could and couldn’t accept about each other,” Cox shared on the April 24, 2024, episode of the “Minnie Questions” podcast. Furthermore, she added, ”Instead, he just broke up—within in the first minute. And I was like, ‘What?’ We were engaged and I was so shocked. I was in so much pain. I also don’t like surprises.”
Cox and McDaid split in 2015 but reconciled the following year. Meanwhile, they were in a long-distance relationship as McDaid was based in London while she was in Los Angeles. According to a source, he treated coming to LA like a “chore.” “Late last year, he decided to throw in the towel, privately admitting that the spark had gone and he wanted to draw a line so they could both move on,” the source said.
