David Arquette Ex-Wife: Meet Courteney Cox

Courteney Cox and David Arquette wound up becoming more than friends after starring in Scream together in the ’90s.

“We met on Scream 1, and on Scream 2 we were kind of on-and-off dating. And by Scream 3 we were married,” Arquette told PEOPLE in 2010.

By the time Scream 4 came out, the Friends actress and Arquette, who wed in 1999, were already parents to daughter Coco. The Never Been Kissed actor has called the slasher franchise “sort of an amazing marker throughout our lives.”

In 2010, however, the couple announced that they were separating after 11 years of marriage. While Arquette wanted their marriage to “work out,” both he and Cox filed for divorce in 2012.

Despite going their separate ways, the exes have remained friends. “He’s my favorite person in the world,” Cox told PEOPLE of her ex-husband. “He’s my best friend. No matter what happens in our future, he’s my very best friend.”
