Actors Courtney Cox and David Arquette shocked the world yesterday when they announced they were taking a trial separation. In their statement the couple admitted that they have actually been separated for a few months already, the couple 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 through 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."But now there has been more revelations that can lead us to believe they are over for good. In a really insensitive move, David has admitted on a radio show that he slept with Hollywood slut Jasmine Waltz, the 'aspiring' actress has been linked to everyone from Ryan Seacrest to Jesse McCartney. Jasmine's biggest claim to fame came this summer, when Lindsay Lohan accused her of punching her in the face at Lindsay's B-Day bash...wow, how classy David!
Rumours are spreading that the real reason they have announced this 'trial separation' is because pictures of David and Jasmine were going to be published in the papers. David went into great detail about the split saying that it wasn't his decision to take a break from the marriage:
"It breaks my heart, [I'm] not the one that called this [separation] in order.I've been begging Courtney to get back with me. But she said to me, 'I don't want to be your mother anymore,'And I appreciated that about her ... She didn't want to tell me, 'Don't do that.' She didn't want to nag me anymore."
The couple who met on the set of Scream and have been married for 11 years also have a 6-year-old daughter Coco, and David said he was honest with her about the split:
"We went to a beach and had a picnic. [I] explained to her that we're grownups, and a lot of the time when grownups are growing up, they need to figure out their lives. Sometimes that takes each other having a little space...She said, 'Are you guys getting a divorce?' I said, 'No, We're not getting a divorce, we're just taking some time apart to get to know ourselves better and get to know what we want out of our mate better'."
The whole split sounds very messy to me, and whether or not it's a 'trial' separation remains to be seen. This is the second couple this week to announce separation, Christina Aguilera announced she'd split from her husband yesterday.
