Second Pic Looks Like Chandler’: Courteney Cox’ Fans Compare Her Real and Former On-Screen Boyfriend

Courteney Cox recently shared an edited photo of her boyfriend looking slightly older. Fans couldn’t help but notice his resemblance to Cox’s former on-screen boyfriend, Chandler Bing.

Courteney Cox cemented her name on American television through her iconic role as Monica Geller in the beloved television series, “FRIENDS.”

Beyond her successful career in the entertainment industry, Cox is also a loving partner to Johnny McDaid, who was recently compared to the actress’ former on-screen love interest.

Cox recently paid tribute to her lover on Instagram for his birthday. The Hollywood star’s post came with two photos: an original snap of her kissing him on the cheek and an edited version where McDaid looks older. “Good to know that when you’re older, you’ll actually look older than me,” she joked.

Fans couldn’t help but notice a striking resemblance between Cox’s beau and her “Friends” boyfriend, Chandler Bing, played by Matthew Perry. “OMG, the second pic looks like Chandler,” one fan said. Meanwhile, other fans agreed with the observation.

Although McDaid, a songwriter who collaborated with Ed Sheeran, has an Instagram account, his girlfriend did not tag him in the post. He is known for writing the songs “Shape of You,” “Photograph,” “Galway Girl,” “What About Us,” “Permission to Dance,” and many more.

He has written over 100 songs in his career. Besides writing songs, McDaid is known as the singer of the band Snow Patrol.

Because of his career, he met Cox through Sheeran. They were introduced to each other in 2013. In September of that year, Cox and McDaid went on their first date. Although they kept their relationship private, the couple started making public appearances the following year.

They engaged on June 26, 2014, and shared the news on social media with a selfie. Unfortunately, a little over a year later, the duo called off their engagement after reportedly having problems. It took several months before they rekindled their relationship.

Admittedly, their relationship got stronger after calling off the engagement. While they still endured challenges in the following years, Cox and McDaid remain in love.

Cox is already a mother to Coco Arquette, who she shares with her ex, David Arquette. Still, at her age, Cox looks youthful and beautiful. While she has previously gone under the knife to the point where she was unrecognizable, Courteney Cox managed to keep her glow until today.

Cox enjoys cleaning at home and cooking for her partner and daughter when not busy with her family and career. Her simple joys keep her happy, which is reflected in her physical appearance.
