David Arquette Howard Stern Interview On Arquette/Cox Split

Anatomy of a Celebrity Breakup 101: On Monday, Courteney Cox and David Arquette confirmed that they have separated after 11 years of marriage — and David’s wasting no time spilling the beans on the issues that lead to the couple’s split. Chief on Courteney’s list of complaints? David’s kookiness.

Arquette, 39, called into Howard Stern’s Sirius radio show early Tuesday, where he confessed that wife Courteney, 46, asked him for a “trial separation” after their 11th anniversary in June.

“I don’t want to be your mother anymore,” Courteney allegedly told David during the tense encounter. Apparently, the admittedly-immature actor’s penchant for tattoos and foolery has been a major source of contention between the couple. That and the fact that they hadn’t had sex in four months.

“We’re not having sex, and I completely understand,” David told Stern. “She’s in a place of wanting to be real and emotional. She’s an emotional being. She’s an amazing woman. If it doesn’t feel right, she doesn’t feel like bonding in that way.”

Arquette also copped to romping with Hollywood cocktail waitress Jasmine Waltz, perhaps best known as the celebrity humper who famously decked Lindsay Lohan in the kisser during a dispute between the two last July. Arquette insists that he hooked up with Jasmine — who has been romantically-linked to Jesse McCarthy, Ryan Seacrest, and Sean Stewart — after breaking up with Courteney. That relationship has since ended. David — who denies that Courteney had an affair with her Cougar Town co-star Brian Van Holt — also revealed that they broke the news to their daughter together while on a picnic and that she “took it pretty hard.”

Cox and Arquette met on the set of Scream in 1996 and married three years later. Their daughter Coco is six. The former couple will reprise their roles as unlikely lovers Dewey and Gail Weathers in the film’s upcoming fourth sequel, in theaters next year.
