FRIENDS and Cougar Town actress Courteney Cox is engaged to Snow Patrol musician Johnny McDaid, just six months after the pair were first spotted together.

The lovebirds tweeted their new status online with a selfie: “I’m engaged to him!” and “I’m engaged to her!”

The first sighting of the couple was at Jennifer Aniston’s festive season celebrations in LA in December 2013. By March, they were living together.

“I’m not sure that it’s public knowledge, so maybe I shouldn’t have said anything - but, yes, they’re already living together,” singer Ed Sheeran told the Mirror.

That month, the duo told Us magazine about their newfound happiness at the premiere of Cox’s directorial debut Just Before I Go.

“He supports me in every way,” said Cox. “He supports me creatively. He really believed in the movie ... and not just because he likes me, though I know that helps.”

“Courteney is the most completely confident person I’ve ever met - at everything,” McDaid said. “She gets music. She gets art. She gets the way a scene gets constructed, the way dialogue works. And she puts it all together in her mind and then explains it to the world and makes movies that make people laugh and cry, squirm and jump, all those things.”

Cox was previously wed to David Arquette for almost 14 years. They divorced in May 2013 and have a ten-year-old daughter, Coco.
