When Courteney Cox was dumped by fiance Johnny McDaid mid-therapy
Courteney Cox and Johnny McDaid
Courteney Cox has a weird story to tell about her relationship with fiance Johnny McDaid. Opening up about her special relationship with him through which they have seen it all together, the Friends alum spoke about how once he broke up with her mid-therapy session, leaving her shaken.
Courteney Cox and Johnny McDaid were getting therapy many years ago when they hit a rough patch. As they consulted a therapist and were told to define boundaries for each other, she remembered that Johnny once broke up with her during the session. It, however, was a great thing for both of them because when they got back together, they were much stronger.
This is how Courteney Cox's fiance broke up with her mid-therapy
Opening up on Minnie Questions podcast, Courteney Cox said that it was the “really intense” moment she faced in a long time but it led to them getting stronger together more than ever. She said, "We broke up in therapy. I didn’t know it was coming. We went to this therapist to talk about our boundaries [and] what we could and couldn’t accept about each other.”
Within the first minute of that, Johnny broke up with her. "I was like, ‘What?'" she said. "I was so shocked. I was in so much pain. I also don’t like surprises. And he's an incredible human being, so he wasn't trying to surprise. He was in that much pain in the relationship."
She added, "There was that much that needed to be dealt with that he had to protect himself around his heart. So as opposed to like going, ‘F--- him,’ getting in this mode of anger, I leaned in and I did the most work on myself by far."

But it was a good thing
In the end, that session proved to be a blessing for their relationship because they got back together stronger. It pointed them in the right direction.
She said, "I'm so thankful for that break-up because when we got back together it was a different relationship, but also because it really taught me how I operated in the world… what were the things from my childhood that I needed. I learned how to reclaim my voice, boundaries, what were my motives in life — like what was my part in this."
Courteney Cox and Johnny McDaid started dating in 2013 after being introduced to each other via mutual friend Ed Sheeran. They became engaged in 2014. In 2019 they announced that they had called off the engagement but they were still in a relationship. Last year, the couple celebrated their 10th anniversary together.
