The actress has always admired Keaton’s talent, whom she met through a mutual friend in 1989. On the first date, they were in the actress’s apartment, and, according to her, they talked for about five hours without interruption.
“We talked for five hours. We talked about our dream homes — the great ones we’d seen and the kind we’d like to build ourselves”, Cox told People at the time.

Despite the age difference of 13 years, the couple quickly became closer. Courteney often said that she and Michael were soul mates and could rely on each other. Thus began their relationship, which lasted six years.

On one occasion, it was leaked to the media that Cox was dating Jim Carrey, and Keaton was feeling jealous, so he allegedly ran onto the set and proposed Courteney. It was later revealed that Keaton and Cox were separated at that point. After that, they quarreled and reconciled for years.
