Overview
- Multiple outlets say the couple quietly separated at the end of 2025, a report first published by Mail on Sunday that was later confirmed by People.
- Friends and insiders describe the breakup as mutual and amicable, saying the two remain friendly and continue to care for one another.
- Sources point to divergent lives and routine U.S.-U.K. travel—Cox based mostly in Los Angeles and McDaid mainly in London—as a central factor in the split.
- Reports say McDaid is reportedly in the early stages of a new relationship and Cox has been publicly seen with colleague Greg Kinnear, but neither Cox nor McDaid has issued an official statement.
- The pair met in 2013, were briefly engaged, split in 2015 and reunited in 2016, and they were last publicly photographed together in September 2025, giving the split broader context in a decade-long partnership.
