Courteney Cox and Snow Patrol musician Johnny McDaid have reportedly brought their 13-year romance to an end, with the separation understood to have occurred towards the close of 2025.
The former couple, who had been together since 2013 and were once engaged, are said to have parted on good terms after finding themselves leading increasingly separate lives.
A friend of the pair told the Mail on Sunday: "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."
The source added: "This was not an ugly split. They had simply reached a point where they were living different lives.

The 62-year-old Friends actress is based in Los Angeles, whilst the 49-year-old Northern Irish songwriter has predominantly resided in London.
Their romance began after being introduced by mutual friend Ed Sheeran, the global pop star with whom Mr McDaid has collaborated on numerous chart-topping tracks including Shape of You, Photograph and Galway Girl.
Within six months of dating, the pair announced their engagement in 2014, though the relationship hit turbulent waters the following year when they temporarily went their separate ways.
The couple reunited in 2016 and had remained partners until their recent split became public knowledge this weekend.

Despite speaking fondly of one another in various interviews over the years and making public appearances together, the pair have not been photographed in each other's company for several months.
Their last documented outing together was at the US Open in September.
The Monica Geller actress has been candid about the difficulties they faced earlier in their relationship, revealing on the Minnie Questions podcast that Mr McDaid ended things with her during what was supposed to be a couples therapy session.
"I didn't know it was coming.... We were engaged and I was so shocked. I was in so much pain," Ms Cox recounted of that moment.

However, the Hollywood star has since reflected positively on that painful experience, crediting it with transforming their partnership when they eventually reconciled.
She explained that she was "thankful for that breakup" as it resulted in "a different relationship" and helped her understand her own behavioural patterns stemming from childhood.
McDaid similarly expressed feeling "lucky" to have been with the actress during their time together.
Since the separation, both individuals are understood to have begun moving forward with their lives.

Mr McDaid is believed to be in the early stages of a new romance, whilst Ms Cox is thought to remain unattached.
The actress was recently seen in New York with her Shining Vale co-star Greg Kinnear, who reportedly stayed at her flat, though both have confirmed they are simply good friends.
Cox continues to maintain a strong co-parenting relationship with her former husband David Arquette, with whom she shares 22-year-old daughter Coco.
Meanwhile, McDaid's band Snow Patrol are currently in the midst of a major UK summer tour, with upcoming headline performances scheduled at Crystal Palace Park, Edinburgh Castle and Splendour Festival in Nottingham.
