Courteney Cox’s Relationship Ups and Downs Revealed in Podcast
Courteney Cox has poured her heart out in a podcast about the ups and downs of her relationship with Johnny McDaid. The Friends legend revealed the rocker dumped her during their first therapy session – with zero warning. The actress, who shot to fame playing Monica in sitcom Friends, said on the Minnie Questions podcast yesterday: “It was really intense. We broke up in therapy. I didn’t know it was coming.”
Mum-of-one Courteney explained: “We went to this therapist to talk about our boundaries – what we could and couldn’t accept of each other.” However Courteney was dealt a major blow with the Snow Patrol star’s bombshell announcement. He broke up up with the Scream star ‘within the first minute’ of their conversation.
She recalled: “I was like, ‘what?’. ‘And we’re engaged.’ “I was like, ‘What?’” she recalled. “And we were engaged. And I was so shocked. I was in so much pain. I also don’t like surprises!”
Fans were relieved as the two made it through their hardships, and are still together today, after being introduced by mutual pal Ed Sheeran.
Meanwhile Courteney is said to be focussing on being a good friend to Isla Fisher. The famous “besties” are said to be supporting her after it was announced that she and Sacha Baron Cohen had split. Isla took to Instagram to share that she and her husband had split after 13 years of marriage but initially kept the news to themselves.
In the days since their announcement, Isla has been seen in London while Sacha has been spending time in New York.But now sources claim that Friends legends Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox are on hand to support their friend as she navigates the challenging time.
“Courteney and Jen were two of the first friends she opened up to over a year ago when the marriage started crumbling,” a source told Closer magazine. They went on to say: “Admitting how unhappy she was and turning to them for guidance and support at a time when she was at her lowest after recently losing her beloved father. Having gone through painful divorces and being two of her oldest and dearest friends, Courteney and Jen were there for her through the very painful process.”
“They guided her through her lowest moments and gently helped her come to the painful realisation that it was best to end the relationship rather than hang onto it only to be unhappy for the sake of their children.” Two weeks ago, Isla broke the bombshell news of their quiet breakup. She revealed in an accompanying statement that their marriage had come to an end – explaining that they had split at an undisclosed time last year and that they will continue to co-parent their three children.
