Courteney Cox has called her partner Johnny McDaid her ‘lucky charm’ as she celebrated St Patrick’s Day on Thursday.

The actress, 56, took to her Instagram and shared a snap of the couple looking cosy as they remain apart due to the coronavirus pandemic, with Courtney in California and Johnny, who is from Northern Ireland, in the UK.

Resting her head against the Snow Patrol star’s shoulder in the photo, Courteney wrote: ‘My lucky charm. Happy #StPatricksDay’.

Courteney said goodbye to Johnny in March, when he returned to the UK just a day before the lockdowns happened, but she insisted she hasn’t been feeling too lonely without him.

‘At first I was like, wow what do I do with myself? I cook every day, I’ve learned to cook so much more, I’ve perfected it…,’ she told pal Foy Vance on his ‘Vinyl Supper’ podcast and video series.

‘I haven’t seen John in that many days, he left when the country shut down, the day before.

‘Sundays are different, I miss a lot of it, although people are starting to go, ‘OK, people have been quarantining, everyone’s safe,’ they like to come to the beach so I’m not that lonely.’ 

In September Cox celebrated seven years since meeting the musician.

Sharing a collection of snaps of the couple to Instagram, the actress wrote: ‘7 years ago today I had my first date with this incredible man… and my life was changed forever. I love you J’.

Courteney and Johnny announced their engagement in June 2014 but later called off the engagement but remained a couple.
