Courteney Cox pays gushing tribute to boyfriend Johnny McDaid as he celebrates 46th birthday

Friends star Courteney Cox has paid a gushing tribute to her long-term love, Johnny McDaid on his 46th birthday.

The loved-up actress posted several pictures cuddled up the Derry musician on Instagram.

She captioned the pictures: “Happy birthday to my multi talented Johnny! He may be getting older (kinda) but watching him play never does. I love you J.”

Photos of the couple included several fun selfies, as well as one with a sleeping Courteney and scenes from a convenience store and a picnic with singer Ed Sheeran, 31, who introduced the pair.

The Snow Patrol star has been with Courteney since 2013.

The couple got engaged in June 2014, but in 2019 announced that they were no longer engaged, but still in a relationship which appears to be going strong to this day.

Last year, Sheeran revealed he introduced Courteney and Johnny.

He said at the time: “I introduced her to my best mate Johnny (McDaid - of Snow Patrol), who I wrote Shape of You and Bad Habits with.

“He's also godfather to Lyra, but yeah I introduced them like nine years ago.

“She just invited me round her house and I just kept going round and then one day I brought Johnny and he didn't come home,” he said at the time.
