Courteney Cox is a queen when it comes to sweet tributes.

The Friends star took to Instagram to celebrate her boyfriend, Johnny McDaid, on his 58th birthday on Wednesday, July 24.

"Happy birthday to the man who can do most anything," Cox, 60, gushed in her post. "I love you always J."

The post features an adorable lineup of photos, including a selfie of Cox and McDaid beaming at the camera, a couple of snaps of him rocking out on stage with Snow Patrol, and a shot of him piloting a plane in what looks like a flight simulator. The final pic shows McDaid proudly holding a fish he caught during a riverside adventure, with Cox cheekily adding, "ps. He threw it back 🐟."

The post blew up with likes, comments, and tons of birthday love from fans, but some eagle-eyed followers couldn't help but notice the serious PDA in the first pic of the carousel. In the adorable snap, it looks like McDaid's hand is inside Cox's shirt.

"Where's his hand?" one follower asked. "Is his hand down your sweater?" another wondered. "Does his hand and half his arm need your body heat or what?" someone else joked.

Cox and McDaid’s love story kicked off in late 2013, and they got engaged in June 2014. Though they called off the engagement in 2015, love prevailed, and they’ve been going strong ever since. Just last September, Cox marked their 10-year anniversary, celebrating their journey that started thanks to mutual friend Ed Sheeran.

Speaking of birthdays, Cox’s own celebration last month was filled with love, especially from her Friends co-star, Jennifer Aniston. Aniston posted a heartfelt Instagram tribute, complete with throwback photos and a touching message. She wrote, "Celebrating this powerful, magical, mystical, interesting, interested, ferociously talented girl today!!! My sweet CC @courteneycoxofficial… she’s funny like no other, STUNNING on the inside and out."

Aniston didn’t stop there, highlighting Cox’s independence, loyalty, and caring nature, while humorously noting her fear of dogs despite always having at least two. "I can’t imagine a world without her. It’s one of my great honors to call her one of my best friends for life…Happy happy birthday CC. I love you!"

Aniston’s post, which racked up over four million likes, included a mix of red carpet throwbacks, video chat screenshots, and fun selfies, perfectly capturing their iconic friendship.
