Snow Patrol singer Johnny McDaid publicly thanked his partner Rosie while accepting the President’s Award at the BMI Awards on Tuesday, marking his first public acknowledgment of a new relationship just months after his split from long-time partner Courteney Cox. McDaid, 50, addressed the audience during an emotional speech, stating, “My family that are here, Anya, Josh, Sheila and my partner Rosie, thank you for all your support and I love you.”
BMI Awards Speech Details New Relationship
The musician’s confirmation of his relationship with Rosie follows reports earlier this year that he and Cox quietly ended their 10-year relationship late last year. The former couple, who began dating in 2013 after being introduced by mutual friends including Ed Sheeran, were briefly engaged just one year into their romance. Friends close to the former couple reported that the breakup was entirely amicable, with the two simply finding themselves on different paths.
Living Arrangements Following the Split
Throughout their decade together, McDaid and Cox divided their time between the United Kingdom and the United States. Following the separation, Cox, 62, has continued to base herself in Los Angeles, while McDaid has largely lived in London. The pair were last seen publicly together at the US Open in September 2025 before parting ways later in the year.
