Courtney Cox has been married once before to David Arquette (Remember the “Friends” episode where the credits listed every actor’s last name as Arquette?). But after filing for divorce in 2012, she began dating Snow Patrol frontman Johnny McDaid in 2013, per People. There was a brief engagement in 2014, but they called it off a year later, amid speculation that “[they’d] been having problems for a long time.” Maybe it was because they were putting pressure on themselves to get married?
As it turns out, Cox and McDaid work just fine as long-term partners. The pair reconciled following their failed engagement, and this time, made no plans to walk down the aisle. “Well, we love each other … we’re happy,” the “Scream” actor told People in 2016. In 2018, her rock star partner explained that he and Cox were already committed in all the ways that matter. “[Being a husband] is just a label,” he told People, while Cox added she was already “married in my heart.” In response to whether they were planning a wedding ceremony, McDaid said, “We have one every morning when we look at each other.” Cue all the feels!

At the end of the day, it seems that Cox and McDaid work better together without getting married. “[The relationship] is actually better than it was before [when we got engaged],” Cox said on a 2019 episode of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”
