The couple reportedly began dating back in late 2013 after meeting at a star-studded party, but have not been seen together in public since last year, when they attended the US Open tennis tournament.

The Friends star, 62, was allegedly introduced to the now-49-year old Northern Irish musician by singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, who was living with McDaid at the time.

Cox and McDaid were briefly engaged, just nine months after they met, but called the engagement off back in 2015.

The pair remained separated for six months, with McDaid moving to England, although later reconciled.

Despite getting back together, the two retained their separate homes, alternating between continents.

Reports claim the recent split came after the pair realised their lives were moving in different directions, and although their romantic relationship has ended, sources report they remain good friends.
