Here’s a couple that we kind of had high hopes for, as it seems like they just had everything going on in all the right places in all the right times. David Arquette is seen here last month without his wedding ring, and it sounds like this was not so much about “forgetting it at home” as it was about “forgetting I ever got married”. Sadly, even the reps have come out on this one, and it has been confirmed that after 11 years, Courteney Cox and David Arquette are living the single life. In a statement to E!Online, the couple stated:
“We have agreed to a trial separation that dates back for some time. The reason for this separation is to better understand ourselves and the qualities we need in a partner and for our marriage. We remain best friends and responsible parents to our daughter and we still love each other deeply. As we go through this process we are determined to use kindness and understanding to get through this together.”
The couple, who met on the set of Scream in 1996, recently reprised their roles from the original slasher flick for the upcoming fourth instalment in the horror franchise. They’ve had a child together, after undergoing the pain and heartbreak of infertility, and from the sounds of it, until now, all was good to go. There are reports of pictures of David and some younger model hitting it off on a beach somewhere, so the actual cause to this separation is anyone’s guess, David doesn’t exactly look like he is shedding tears over it. Mental note to all 40 something actresses in Hollywood. Taking a job with a show called “CougarTown” may not be all that great for the relationship. Just sayin.
