Courteney put on an effortlessly chic display as she donned a grey blazer over a matching tie-front blouse that she tucked into jeans.

She boosted her height in a pair of studded black ankle boots, and kept her personal items in a black handbag. 

Johnny, meanwhile, opted for a relaxed look as he teamed a dark blue denim jacket with a matching jumper and black trousers.

The happy couple made sure to protect themselves amid the coronavirus pandemic by wearing a black face mask.

The Scream actress had revealed in October that hadn’t seen Johnny for more than 200 days. 

Courteney said goodbye to Johnny in March, when he returned to the UK just a day before the lockdowns happened, but she insisted she hasn’t been feeling too lonely without him.

‘At first I was like, wow what do I do with myself? I cook every day, I’ve learned to cook so much more, I’ve perfected it…,’ she told pal Foy Vance on his ‘Vinyl Supper’ podcast and video series.

‘I haven’t seen John in that many days, he left when the country shut down, the day before. 

‘Sundays are different, I miss a lot of it, although people are starting to go, ‘OK, people have been quarantining, everyone’s safe,’ they like to come to the beach so I’m not that lonely.’ 

In September Cox celebrated seven years since meeting the musician.

Sharing a collection of snaps of the couple to Instagram, the actress wrote: ‘7 years ago today I had my first date with this incredible man… and my life was changed forever. I love you J’.

Courteney and Johnny announced their engagement in June 2014 but later called off the engagement but remained a couple.
