EX-Friends star Courteney Cox and Snow Patrol guitarist Johnny McDaid have sparked rumours of a Northern Irish wedding.

Local media reports claim the couple is close to tying the knot in a Derry ceremony.

The pair became engaged in June 2014 but reportedly parted ways back in December 2015.

TMZ.com and Us Weekly said the couple had decided to call off their wedding, with 41-year-old Johnny moving out of 53-year-old Courteney’s home before Thanksgiving that November.

The former Friends star was later spotted in Los Angeles where she had replaced her engagement ring with a simple gold ring.

Now, though, it seems like their relationship is back on track with fans of the sitcom eager to see if Courteney’s Friends co-stars fly to Northern Ireland for a wedding.

Courteney and Johnny - who met through mutual friend, singer Ed Sheeran - frequently visit Johnny’s native Derry where they have attended events.

Snow Patrol’s roots lie in Glasgow as the group called Scotland’s biggest city home in their early band days.
