Friends star Cox, 60, has made an unexpected trip to Sydney alongside lookalike daughter Coco Arquette, 20, with the pair spotted going for a swim at a local beach on Tuesday shortly after arriving from the US.

Cox, who shares 20-year-old Coco with her ex-husband David Arquette, was seen soaking up the sunshine in a black bikini during the low-key outing, with the mother-daughter duo also spending some time sunbaking.

Cox, who famously played Monica Geller on the NBC sitcom from 1994 until its finale in 2004, has been in a relationship with Snow Patrol’s Johnny McDaid since 2013,.

The couple got together two years after Cox split from Arquette, her husband of 11 years.

McDaid, 48, wasn’t present during their beach outing.

The Scream actress has a tight-knit relationship with her daughter, who is also goddaughter to Cox’s Friends co-star, Jennifer Aniston.

While it’s unclear why the mother-daughter duo opted to visit Australia, Cox is likely enjoying some down time before shooting starts on Scream 7.

Variety reported in December that Cox was set to reprise her role of Gale Weathers in the latest installment of the horror franchise.
