Cox, 49, paired an ankle-length black skirt with a matching black tank top for the outing. McDaid was dressed for the shopping day in dark denim jeans and a faded black t-shirt. Both Cox and McDaid shielded their eyes with designer shades.

Though Cox and Snow Patrol rocker McDaid have only been publicly dating for half a year, the former Friends actress has been wearing a diamond on her left ring finger, sparking speculation that she and McDaid are already planning to tie the knot in the near future.

"I'm not sure that it's public knowledge, so maybe I shouldn’t have said anything – but, yes, they're already living together," British crooner Ed Sheeran told Us Weekly of his fellow musician friend and Cox. "Things are moving fast. He moved in and, judging by the last time I saw them, they couldn’t be happier."

Another source added, that the two could be headed for marriage “sooner than later" and added, “They are talking about having a child together.”
