Courteney Cox has been in love with many men over her lifetime. However, one ex in particular, the Friends star, claims he remains the love of her life. You may be in for a big surprise because it is not who you think it is.
Actress Courtney Cox is very happy in her current relationship with Johnny McDaid. However, when she looks back at her past relationships, she can’t help but remember fondly the one man she believes was the ‘most important relationship’ of her life.
According to In Touch magazine, the man who holds Courteney Cox’s heart is Beatlejuice star Michael Keaton. But here is the crazy part: Michael feels the same about her. So, what happened between these two crazy kids that tore them apart?
Sources close to Cox reveal that it has been 30 years since Michael and Courtney were a couple. They were together for more than five years and were deemed one of the ‘happiest couples‘ by their friends. “Michael and Courteney’s romance is notable for two reasons,” the insider explains. One, they were extremely happy and close for a long time 30 years ago—just one of the happiest couples you could possibly run into and spend time around.”
Keaton and Cox dated for a long time, and everyone who knew them believed their love was teh real deal. So when things suddenly ended, everyone they knew was left in a state of shock. The breakup devastated Courtney.
Michael Keaton Forced To Choose Between His Dreams And Courtney Cox Romance
Courteney Cox and Michael Keaton first met in 1989 after Cox told a mutual friend she was interested in Keaton. It was love at first sight, and the Hollywood couple were nearly inseparable. The circumstances surrounding their split are not completely clear.
However, they both stated during that time in their lives, they were always working on their careers and themselves. So many fans assumed that their careers took precedence over their relationship, and they decided it best to go their separate ways. For years, many of the former couple’s friends believed they would eventually reconcile, but as time passed, they each moved on with new relationships.
Interestingly, after three decades, Michael Keaton and Courtney Cox still have deep feelings for each other. Per the IT source, “Michael and Courteney have kept their distance for all this time. But Michael’s life is at a significant turning point right now as he has one of his biggest hits ever with the new Beetlejuice. At the same time, he’s making a lot of noise among his friends about how he’s looking to wind things down and re-focus on family and relationships.
“It would be a shame to leave things unresolved with Courteney, especially since both of them are in such good places in their lives right now.” As far as Courtney and Michael are concerned, they each have new partners and wonder lives, but who knows, maybe someday these two former lovers may find their way back to each other.
Either way, Michael Keaton and Courteney Cox will always seemingly hold a special place in their hearts for each other. “It’s the most important relationship I’ve ever had, and I think he’s the most wonderful person I’ve ever met,” stated Courtney, adding during a past interview, “We still love each other.”
