David Arquette has enthused about his marriage to Courteney Cox, saying they share “a really great, beautiful relationship’.

The couple, who met on the set of Scream, recently celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary and are parents to 6-year-old Coco.

Arquette explained that communication was the key to the success of their union.

“Whenever things come up, we deal with them. We communicate,’ he says. ‘I would never do anything to jeopardise our relationship, you know what I mean. I’m committed, and we’re honest with each other … Relationships take a lot of work.’

The actor went on to reveal that media speculation about their marriage prompted friends to worry.

“You know, it’s weird, because it turns up in the tabloids, and your friends start calling you like there’s a problem,’ the 38-year-old said.

‘Like, they say, ‘If you need to talk,’ you know. Hey, we don’t need to talk. There’s nothing . We have a really great, beautiful relationship.’
