One of the most surprising celebrity couples of the 90s’ was Michael Keaton and Courteney Cox. The Beetlejuice star and the Friends actress began dating in 1990 after his divorce from Caroline McWilliams. Unlike many Hollywood couples, Keaton and Cox kept their relationship private. Unfortunately, like many celebrity relationships, the couple broke up in 1995. It’s been nearly 30 years since their split and it’s still shocking to those closest to them.
Cox was a rising star when she began dating Keaton, who was 13 years older than her. Despite their age difference, a source tells In Touch Weekly that the two were a great fit.
Michael and Courteney’s romance is notable for two reasons. 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.
The source says that the couple’s relationship “abruptly ended” and the exes left things “unresolved.”
Michael Keaton and Courteney Cox Need Closure
In the years since their split, Michael and Courteney have moved on. From 1999 to 2013, Cox was married to actor David Arquette, with whom she has a daughter, Coco. Since 2013, she’s been in a relationship with musician Johnny McDaid. As for Keaton, he’s been dating Marni Turner since 2016.
Although they’ve both moved on, there’s still feelings between the former couple. “Courteney was always the one that got away,” the source revealed.
While the exes haven’t seen or spoken to each other since their split, that might change soon.
And how Michael and Courtney 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.
With unresolved issues between them, the two need closure, and many are hoping they get it.
“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,” the source reveals. “They’ve both raised wonderful kids in the years since their sudden breakup. I bet we see them finally take a picture together this awards season and finally put the bad blood between them.”
Michael Keaton and Courteney Cox are one of those couples that many wonder what could’ve bee if they stayed together. Although they’ve long split, let’s hope one day the two can find closure and finally move past their heartache.
