As her divorce became tabloid fodder, Cox's personal life overshadowed her professional opportunities. This trend, along with her relationship woes, continued with her whirlwind on-and-off romance with fiancé Johnny McDaid of Snow Patrol. The two started dating in late 2013, announced their engagement in June 2014, but called it quits in December 2015, later reuniting.
"We were engaged for over a year and then we broke up. There's something about ... you know, he's from Ireland. And the way he regards love is precious. We have to treat it in a different way. It's more special," she told Bear Grylls in 2016 (via E! News). "I definitely have learned a lot, and no matter what, I will be a better person from that breakup, even though it was so brutal."
In 2017, the 53-year-old actress revealed her intention to expand her family. "I would love to have a baby now. I mean, I could carry someone else's egg. I may be one of the older people doing it, but I would love to, with Johnny that is," she told New Beauty. "I know it's crazy, but I would."
