She might play a lovably dysfunctional 40-something on Cougar Town, but in real life Courteney Cox is in control as far as her love life is concerned.
The 49-year-old actress was at the wheel of the car as she glided to pal Jennifer Aniston's annual holiday party in Bel-Air, California on Sunday with her handsome, much younger date.
Sitting beside the glowing Courteney was 37-year-old musician Johnny McDaid of the band Snow Patrol.
Date night: Courteney Cox, 49, brought Irish musician Johnny McDaid, 37, as her date to friend Jennifer Aniston's annual star-studded holiday party in Bel-Air, California on Sunday
'Courteney definitely looked like she was on a date.They were holding hands during the party,' a source told Life & Style.
Courteney and the Irishman were brought together by mutual friends with matchmaking possibly in mind.
Johnny, who comes from Northern Ireland, is living in Los Angeles while he collaborates on Ed Sheeran's album.
Ed, meanwhile, enjoyed Thanksgiving in the company of both Jennifer and Courteney.
In control: The Cougar Town star has a penchant for dating younger men and was likely introduced to the Snow Patrol guitarist through mutual friends
Glowing good time: Courteney was radiant behind the wheel of her black Range Rover as she drove onto the newly renovated grounds of Jennifer's mansion
The camaraderie among this group also extends to One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles, who encouraged his fans via Twitter to vote for Courteney at the People's Choice Awards.
'Vote Courtney Cox. Rule number one.. Always vote Courtney Cox,' Harry wrote, obviously forgetting that the nominee spells her name with an 'e' after the 't.'
Earlier this month, Sheeran put in own heartfelt bid for the Cougar Town star on Twitter - which McDaid retweeted on November 19.
Sensitive type: The blue-eyed Johnny, pictured at a Billboard Music Awards gifting suite in May, is a sensitive fellow who got a Gaelic quote tattooed onto his arm in memory of his late father
Friendly persuasion: Courteney's pal Ed Sheeran is a good friend of Johnny's; the red-haired singer posted this snap while urging fans to vote for Courteney at the People Choice Awards and Johnny re-tweeted the message
'My friend Courteney is nominated for a People Choice Award for favourite cable tv actress,' Ed wrote.
'She's never won one before and she lets me live in her beach house, so how's about we all vote for her and win her the damn thang eh? Safe.'
Along with the message, Ed posted a touching snapshot of Courteney sitting cosy with the singer with her arms around him.
Up close and personal: The raven-haired actress was last linked with her Cougar Town co-star Brian Van Holt, pictured here with her at a Golden Globes post-party in 2010
Husband and wife: Courteney was wed to seven-years-her-junior David Arquette for 14 years; they are pictured attending an event together in 2006
But Johnny appears to be just as sensitive as his red-haired crony.
Johnny sports a tattoo of a Gaelic quote on his upper left arm that translates to mean: 'When I need to get home, you're my guiding light.'
He previously revealed that the ink art was done in remembrance of his father, John, who passed away in July 2011.
Courteney was last linked to her Cougar Town co-star Brian Van Holt, 44, and she was wed to actor David Arquette, the father of her daughter Coco, nine, for 11 years until their separation in 2010. Their divorce was finalised earlier this year.
Award winning: Snow Patrol at the MTV Awards in Belfast in 2011
