London
(ANI):
Former
'Friends" star
Courteney
Cox
and
David
Arquette,
who
have
been
married
for
11
years,
have
confirmed
they
have
parted
ways.
The
couple
issued
a
joint
statement
announcing
the
'trial
separation'
after
US
magazine
In
Touch
Weekly
reported
the
pair
had
split
up.
And
Cox,
46,
and
Arquette,
3,
confirmed
that
they
have
actually
been
separated
for
some
time.
The
two
met
in
1996
while
filming
Scream
and
were
married
three
years
later
in
San
Francisco.
Their
daughter
Coco,
is
six
years
old.
In
a
joint
statement,
they
said:
“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
though
this
process
we
are
determined
to
use
kindness
and
understanding
to
get
through
this
together.
We
are
comfortable
with
the
boundaries
that
we
have
established
for
each
other
during
this
separation
and
we
hope
that
our
friends,
family,
fans
and
the
media
also
show
us
respect,
dignity,
understanding
and
love
at
this
time
as
well."
