Three loves of Courteney Cox... June 15, 2021, 12:00 pm | Leokadia Korshunova
4 chosen
Today the most frequently sung song in the world - Happy Birthday - will be sung to her from all sides. And they will probably be among those congratulating...
They... There were always a lot of them - fans - around her: show business, fame somehow attracted increased attention from both mere mortals and famous people. With some she managed to create a beautiful couple, and with others even a family...
She…
Courtney Bass Cox was born and raised on June 15 in a suburb of Birmingham - a place called Mountain Brook, Alabama (USA) in the family of a businessman and a housewife. The future actress was the youngest in the family - besides Courtney, the family had two more daughters and a son (all older than Courtney), and after the divorce and remarriage of her parents, a total of nine more brothers and sisters were added to the three.
At school, Courtney was a very active child - tennis, swimming, cheerleading. One could safely say about her: an athlete, a Komsomol member, an excellent student and simply a beauty! Actually, the last aspect became decisive when choosing a future profession. No, Courtney honestly went to college after school and studied architecture and design for about a year, but... The prospect of becoming a model, and then an actress, turned out to be more significant. Therefore, college was left “for later,” and instead the girl ended up with a contract with the Ford modeling agency.
My first experience was filming commercials... Everything: from cosmetics to hygiene products. This was followed by a “role” in a Bruce Springsteen video – Dancing In The Dark, for which Cotney was paid only $350. By the way, at this time the girl was actively trying to audition for Brian De Palma ..
...And then it started spinning.
They…
Michael Keaton
Roles in TV series, movies, meetings with interesting people, great opportunities... It’s logical that sometimes you’re tempted to take advantage of your connections! Actually, this is exactly how Courtney met actor Michael Keaton : she simply asked their mutual friend to tell Michael that she was literally absolutely delighted with his work in the film Of Sober Mind (1988). He passed it on. And from 1989, Courtney and Michael dated for almost six years.
But even after the breakup, Courtney spoke very warmly about Keaton, calling him a brilliant actor, and their relationship the most significant in her life.
David Arquette
The time after the breakup with Keaton became the most fruitful for Courtney. Several box-office comedies with her participation were released, and the TV series Friends was also launched, which literally made the girl a global megastar. In addition, in 1996, the premiere of the first part of the Scream (1996) took place, during the filming of which Courtney became very close to the actor who played the main killer of the thriller, David Arquette .
At first, David joked that “he’s too eccentric for Courtney.” But the romance did not end. Moreover, in the late 1990s, David proposed to his beloved, and in 1999, their wedding took place among their closest friends. The bride wore a luxurious Valentino dress and walked down the aisle to the accompaniment of Paul McCartney's Maybe I'm Amazed.
The couple tried to have children for a long time, but it didn’t work out on the first try. Baby Coco Riley Arquette was born on June 13, 2004. Courtney wanted to name her daughter in accordance with family tradition - after her mother (who is also named Courtney), but David was against it. The compromise was the “reduction” to Ko (rtni) Ko (ks).
Being both from large families (David also grew up surrounded by three older sisters and a brother), the couple tried to “give” Coco a brother or sister. But numerous miscarriages significantly undermined the relationship between Courtney and David. In addition, Arquette’s “bad habits” also played a role. As a result, after 18 years of dating, 14 of which they lived in marriage, the couple divorced.
And by the end of 2013, Courtney published on her microblog: “I’m engaged to Him!..”
Johnny McDade
And again it could not have happened without a “mutual friend”. This time, musician Ed Shearman played the role of matchmaker, who introduced Courtney to the frontman of the band Snow Patrol.
Courtney and Johnny began dating, and at the same time working together on Courtney's directorial debut - the film Before I Go (2015), which featured Seann William Scott, Kate Walsh and others.
But things never came to an official exchange of vows. But there were numerous rumors that, like a plot twist in Friends, Courtney and Matthew Perry began an affair, like their characters Monica and Chandler. But... Who knows what reality will turn out to be.

Childhood and youth
Courteney Cox was born into the family of a housewife and businessman, Courtney Bass (the youngest daughter was named after her mother) and Richard Cox. The biography of the future star began on June 15, 1964 under the zodiac sign Gemini. Courtney is American by nationality and has Irish roots.
Actress Courteney Cox
The girl, who had two older brothers and a sister, spent her childhood in the small southern town of Birmingham. When she was ten years old, her father and mother divorced. Richard moved to Florida, and my mother remarried businessman Hunter Copeland.
Her mother's new marriage gave Courtney a wealthy stepfather and nine half-siblings (Hunter's children from his first marriage). Subsequently, the actress recalled that for many years she blamed her mother for breaking up with her father and only when she became an adult did she realize that her parents were catastrophically unsuited to each other, even though they had been married for nineteen years.
Courteney Cox in her youth
Courtney graduated from high school in Alabama, managing not only to study well, but also to enjoy sports. The girl played tennis, swimming and was a member of the school cheerleading team. Subsequently, sports training turned out to be a good help in the career of a model and actress, but at that time Courtney didn’t even think about it.
After school, the girl entered Vernon Washington College at the local university. She dreamed of becoming an interior designer and studied at the relevant faculty for a year. However, fate decreed differently. According to some reports, in her youth, Courtney dated her stepfather's nephew, Miles Copeland.
Courteney Cox in her youth
The young man’s friends worked in the modeling business and persuaded Courtney to try herself in this field, especially since Cox’s external data allowed it (with a height of 165 cm, the girl’s weight was 57 kg). Soon the young beauty entered into an agreement with the Ford modeling agency and dropped out of university. Abandoning her dreams of becoming a designer, the girl enrolled in theater classes in order to get rid of the characteristic southern accent that was hindering her in her work. So the modeling business became a kind of bridge for Courteney Cox, a step to further fame.
How the actress lost weight
Of course, with the advent of fame and multimillion-dollar gazes, the film actress had to approach the issue of nutrition more seriously - it was decided to say goodbye to high-calorie foods forever, and also to forget about the existence of gourmet confectionery products. And in 2004, the seductive lady completely gained extra pounds. But she said goodbye to the surplus quickly - a month after the baby was born. The diet that she followed for a long time helped her with this.
The recipe for slimness and beauty is simple: monitor your diet every day and devote free minutes to physical activity.
Courtney works out at the gym four times a week. Strength and cardio exercises are the main ones during training. Selectivity in food is manifested in the consumption of tender varieties of fish and meat, hard cheese, fruits and vegetables, herbs, various cereals and nuts, which contribute to the preservation of the skin.
If a person wants to lose weight, then he needs to consume protein foods in the first half of the day, and leave carbohydrate foods for the evening, consume only healthy foods, forget about chocolate and other sweets. Dishes prepared by frying are not recommended.
But in any system there is room for failure. In such a strict regime, you need to take into account the human factor and the desire to relax. Even film actresses sometimes have problems with diet. Sometimes a sophisticated brunette can enjoy her favorite pasta with sauce or rosy sandwiches with butter. Some time after the meal, she goes to the gym and burns the accumulated calories.
Movies
Fame did not come to the aspiring actress right away. First, in 1985, Courtney starred in a commercial for Tampax tampons. Cox became the first person to say the word “period” on American television.

After participating in commercials, she danced in a video for a Bruce Springsteen song. Then Courtney began to be invited to minor roles in films and television series, and she also managed to work as a TV presenter.

The most significant role for the girl at the beginning of her career was the role in the comedy “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective,” where the famous Jim Carrey became the partner of the aspiring artist. After the film was released in 1994, she pulled out a star ticket: the actress was invited to audition for the NBC channel, which was launching the new series Friends
" At first, Courtney auditioned for the role of Rachel, but in the end the producers gave her to Jennifer Aniston, and Cox herself received the no less striking role of Monica Geller.

As the girl admitted later, Courtney looks like the heroine she played. Like Monica, Cox doesn't like clutter. Even when visiting, a woman puts magazines in a pile and arranges DVDs with films in alphabetical order.
For the next ten years, the actress did not part with the series, playing in all 10 seasons. The actress starred in the company of Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer. The series and the project participants were nominated for Emmy and Golden Globe awards. Courtney did not receive any awards, but she, along with her friends from the series, entered the Guinness Book of Records as the most “expensive” television actress.

Sport life
Courtney’s life motto: “The main thing is not to sit still.” The actress works out under the professional supervision of Hollywood fitness trainer Tracy Anderson. Such influential pop culture icons as Madonna, Kate Hudson, Gwyneth Paltrow and others turned to Tracy for help.
The actress speaks positively about Anderson’s method, but calls the hour and a half classes a real test of strength. During physical exercises given by the blond athlete, work occurs on all muscle groups. Sometimes in physical education lessons you can find elements from martial arts.
But Cox's body polishing doesn't just come from working out, it's also through an active lifestyle. Even while resting, Courtney strives to be active. In her free time from work, she studies yoga and Pilates, walks along the beach, and plays volleyball.

Personal life
Courteney Cox has been credited with having affairs with many men. In her youth, she dated Adam Duritz and Michael Keaton, but true love came to her on the set of the cult horror film, because there she met a charming guy playing a modest but handsome sheriff.

On the occasion of the wedding of one of the main actresses of the series “Friends,” the creators decided to dedicate the first episode of the sixth season to the newlyweds. Therefore, fans of the serial film can see in the initial video that the surname Arquette was attached to the surname of each artist.
In the last season, the artist filmed while pregnant. The creators played up Lisa Kudrow's pregnancy, but they didn't do the same with Corny, because according to the plot, Monica and Chandler cannot have children and adopt a child. As it turned out later, there was more than one.
Courteney Cox with her daughter
In 2004, the couple had their only daughter, Coco Riley. The artist's best friend Jennifer Aniston became the baby's godmother. Jen and Courtney became very close friends on set. Cox was the one who provided Aniston with the strongest support when the latter divorced Brad Pitt.
The couple separated in 2010, although they filed an official divorce only in 2013. According to rumors, the reason for the breakup was constant disagreements caused by the spouses' attempts to have children. It is not surprising that Courtney was periodically nervous and threw tantrums. It is reliably known that during the years of marriage, this fragile beauty suffered eight miscarriages.

The first time the misfortune happened before the birth of my daughter. Then the couple did not give up trying. However, the body of a forty-year-old woman could not cope with the task, and the first was followed by seven more miscarriages. The last one happened in the summer of 2010.
After the divorce, Courtney quickly came to her senses; she did not stop acting, and in 2014 she announced her engagement to musician Johnny McDaid, whom she had dated since 2013. But in December 2014, news of the breakup of the star couple’s relationship leaked to the press. They say that the reason was the difficult character of the actress.

A year after breaking up with Johnny, Courtney was noticed in the company of Matthew Perry, his partner in the TV series “Friends”. Fans of the on-screen couple rejoiced and hoped for a reunion in real life, but the actors themselves claimed that they had purely friendly relations.
In January 2021, information appeared in the press about the resumption of Courtney’s relationship with her ex-fiancé: the actress decided to move to McDaid in London with her teenage daughter.
Courteney Cox has a brown belt in karate. In addition, the woman plays the piano and drums. Courtney is also interested in yoga. In her youth, the actress dabbled in “weed,” but then completely got rid of this bad habit.

According to the artist, she resorted to plastic surgery. In total, Cox underwent 4 plastic surgeries. The actress herself noted that the surgical interventions were unsuccessful.
In the summer of 2021, Courtney gave an interview in which she stated that she wanted to have a child with Johnny and regain her natural face. The woman admitted that she stopped being afraid of old age and refused anti-aging injections.
At the same time, despite her age and the madness of the idea, Courtney dreams of a baby from her current boyfriend. The actress noted that to give birth to a child she would need someone else’s egg, but Cox is ready to do it for the sake of her loved one.

The famous actress does not have Instagram. The fans do it instead. On the social network you can find a celebrity fan page, where fans post photos of the actress found on the Internet and videos.
The artist has an officially verified Twitter, the posts of which are followed by millions of readers.
Plastic
Courteney Cox (photos of hot teen idols are quite difficult to find on the Internet, since the actress was always prejudiced against filming in the nude, although she did not consider herself a prude) is one of the few actresses who openly admits to using aesthetic correction to maintain youthful and beautiful skin. The popular TV star admits that she has repeatedly resorted to botolutoxin injections and plastic surgery, which she previously denied.
Fearing age-related changes, the actress, in a futile, as she said, attempt to stop old age, underwent 4 facelifts and a huge number of botolutoxin injections, changing her previously incredibly beautiful face beyond recognition. The correction made does not at all please the movie star, who, according to her, is now simply afraid to look at herself in the mirror. The star of “Friends” notes that, inspired by the first excellent results, she could not stop in time, which led to the fact that her face changed beyond recognition, but could not slow down the onset of age-related changes.

Courteney Cox now
At the beginning of 2021, it became known that Courteney Cox was preparing for her wedding to Johnny McDaid.

In the summer, the actress's ex-husband David Arquette said that they needed to consider the terms of custody of their common daughter. According to some reports, the man wants to deprive Courtney of some parental rights. This happened because Coco began to complain about her mother's excessive control. While Arquette has not filed a lawsuit, he has threatened his former lover.
Shape Options
Recently, the Hollywood star decided to completely eliminate caffeine-containing drinks from her diet. This kind of liquid has a detrimental effect on the body of every person and brings old age closer. Invigorating coffee has been replaced by coconut water, which allows you to always be in good shape. The benefits of this drink include a small amount of calories and beneficial minerals.
Every day a woman drinks more than 1.5 liters of still water. She is sure that consuming even ordinary mineral water reduces appetite and removes waste and toxins from the body. The healing properties of the cooling drink have been confirmed by nutritionists.
Cosmetology procedures
Having given up plastic surgery, the movie star became interested in anti-aging cosmetic procedures, chosen as a safer substitute for plastic surgery.
To maintain good skin condition, the actress visits the Mile Mursi salon, where she does:
According to her, Courtney no longer resorts to botolutoxin injections, having opted for spa treatments that help relax and tighten tissues. The movie star is especially fond of massages, which, according to the movie star, she can do almost constantly.
Beauty secrets
Courteney Cox (photos of the hot stars of “Cougar Town” published in GQ magazine in 1997) calls her beauty secrets proper nutrition and proper rest, as well as a philosophy that allows you to cope with stress that leads to severe aging of the skin.
Facial care
The actress's daily facial care, according to her, takes no more than 15 minutes. First, Courtney rubs her skin with a hot towel to open up the pores, and then applies Mila Moursi Firming Balm and Rejuvenating Cream to her face. The main thing for the actress is good skin hydration, so when basic care is not enough, the “Friends” star mixes Australian Paw Paw balm and Cerave purchased at the pharmacy. According to Courtney, these relatively inexpensive products give excellent results and help instantly replenish the tissue with the moisture it lacks.
Hot photo shoots
Hot photos of Courteney Cox rarely appear in magazines. The most that can be found are a few photo shoots for magazines done in the late 90s and footage from the filming of Friends and Cougar Town. In 1994, the actress starred in an erotic photo shoot for Maxim magazine, and in 1997 she appeared in lingerie for GQ. In recent years, paparazzi regularly catch the movie star on the beach in a swimsuit, but the actress herself does not post such pictures, preferring to use her Instagram to communicate with fans and show photos with her daughter.
