David Arquette Shares Emotional Instagram Tribute for 11th Wedding Anniversary
David Arquette took to Instagram on Monday to celebrate his 11th wedding anniversary with his wife, Christina McLarty Arquette. The 54-year-old filmmaker and actor posted a nostalgic black-and-white photograph from their wedding day, accompanied by a deeply heartfelt caption dedicated to his 44-year-old spouse.
A Heartfelt Message of Love and Gratitude
In his Instagram post, Arquette began by writing, 'Happy 11th wedding anniversary 1 day late (I was traveling).' He then expressed profound gratitude to Christina, referring to her as 'the dragon mother of basset hounds, a silly bull dog, crazy cats, goats, pigs, horses, donkey, cows, chickens, ducks, turkey, chinchillas, fish, stepmother to Coco, and mother of Charlie and Gus.' The actor emphasized, 'I just can’t thank you enough for this magical world we have created together.'
The proud husband continued his tribute by stating, 'I thank the stars about every day for you.' He reminisced about special moments in their relationship, from 'kissing under a rainbow at Lollapalooza in Chicago' to 'looking down on fireworks in Aspen,' describing their journey as a 'fairytale adventure.' Arquette concluded with, 'Thanks for being my dream come true. I love you.'
Family and Friends Join the Celebration
Arquette's sister, actress Rosanna Arquette, joined the celebration by commenting on the post, writing, 'Love you happy happy anniversary.' The couple shares two sons: Charlie, aged 12, and Gus, aged nine. Additionally, David is the father to 21-year-old daughter Coco, whom he shares with his ex-wife, actress Courteney Cox, 61.
David Arquette and Courteney Cox were married in 1999 but separated in 2010, finalizing their divorce in 2013. Despite the end of their marriage, they have maintained amicable terms over the years.
The Journey to Marriage with Christina
Arquette and Christina got engaged in 2014, nearly one year after the birth of their first child together. The proposal took place in Malibu, surrounded by family members, marking a significant milestone in their relationship.
The couple later married in an intimate ceremony held at the Italian restaurant Cicada in Los Angeles. The event was attended by close friends and family, creating a memorable and joyous occasion. Reflecting on their wedding day, Arquette told People magazine, 'It was such a wonderful, memorable night. All of our families and friends came together and just had a great time. The best part is just saying "I do" and committing and kissing my new bride.'
Recent Family Dynamics and Relationships
Earlier this year, David Arquette and Courteney Cox reunited on the red carpet for the premiere of Scream 7, which was released in theaters on February 27. This public appearance highlighted their continued friendly relationship post-divorce.
Meanwhile, Courteney Cox got engaged to Snow Patrol musician Johnny McDaid, 49, in 2014. However, the couple later called off their wedding plans. They reconciled romantically in 2016, but Cox clarified in 2019 that they were no longer formally engaged. During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, she explained, 'He's not my fiancé. We were engaged to be married but now we're just together. We broke off our engagement and he moved to England, then we got back together and it's actually better than it was before. Everything's better.'
David Arquette's anniversary tribute not only celebrates his enduring marriage to Christina but also underscores the blended family dynamics and positive relationships that define their personal lives.
