Courteney Cox will get married this year.

The Cougar Town actress - who has nine-year-old daughter Coco with ex-husband David Arquette - and Snow Patrol rocker Johnny McDaid, 37, have reportedly been talking about tying the knot after dating for a year, and friends expect a wedding to take place in the near future.

"Johnny loves her daughter Coco, and he wants to marry Courteney. They have discussed getting engaged and everyone thinks it is going to happen," a source said.

The 49-year-old actress' friends are said to be delighted she is thinking of settling down with the "Run" hitmaker because they think he is good for her. "She met Johnny through Ed Sheeran, who is friends with Jennifer Aniston. All of Courteney's friends love Johnny, which is great because Jen wasn't so fond of David Arquette," an insider told New York Post's Page Six column.

Courteney recently admitted she is happier than ever with Johnny and was thankful for his support on her movie directorial debut, Just Before I Go: "I couldn't be happier. He supports me in every way He supports me creatively. He really believed in the movie and not just because he likes me, though I know that helps."
