We’ve tracked Coco’s stunning transformation, from a one-week premature baby to a beautiful college student.
Cox also opened up about how difficult it was filming pregnancy scenes on “Friends.”
“That was hard,” she told NBC back in 2004 (viaThe Mirror).
“Sometimes, like I remember one time I just had a miscarriage and Rachel was giving birth.
It was like that same time.
Oh my God, it was terrible having to be funny.”
“I didn’t want to give up,” she said.
Cox originally wanted to name her daughter Courteney, after herself and her mother.
However, herex-husband David Arquetteis Jewish, and the religion frowns upon naming children after living relatives.
So it’s no surprise that Cox asked Aniston to be the godmother of her daughter, Coco Arquette.
Although Aniston doesn’t have children of her own, she once toldE!
Newsshe’s “a great babysitter” who lets the daughters of her friends rummage through her closet.
Aniston and Arquette appear to have a very close relationship.
“Happy birthday my sweet Cocolicious!”
Jen wrote on her Instagram story (viaHuffington Post).
Another picture showed Coco leaning on Aniston with her arm looped through hers, showing their special bond.
According to Cox, her daughter has always loved the limelight.
“Coco’s very comfortable on the set, very comfortable around all the people.
They applauded her performance, which only left Coco wanting more.
The next time it was Jasmine.”
Proud father David Arquette gushed toPeopleabout seeing his daughter grow as a performer over the years.
“She’s an incredible singer and she loves acting,” he said.
So it’s exciting to see."
In an interview withPeople, Courteney Cox praised her daughter’s vocal abilities.
“My daughter is an incredible singer,” said Cox of the then-13-year-old Arquette.
She added that she wants Coco to learn how to play an instrument to complement her voice.
“She is really good.
I want her to have a hobby, to make her play the piano.
That I’m strict about,” she said.
Evidence of Arquette’s vocal prowess can be found on her mother’s Instagram page.
According to Cox, the song perfectly encapsulates her daughter’s spirit and the fleeting nature of childhood.
According to Vance, the song started as “an off-the-cuff verse to make Arquette laugh.”
When it became a full-fledged song needing a music video, it was a no-brainer who would direct.
He gushed about working with the mother-daughter duo, praising the power of them working together.
“They both have such beautifully inquisitive spirits and kind hearts,” he told People.
“Mix that with a killer sense of humor and you’ve got the Courteney/Coco double act.”
Unless you’re Coco Arquette, that is.
“I just love watching Coco and Gary sing together.”
Cox and Dern are longtime family friends, and Arquette has known both Harpers since they were toddlers.
Cox posted pictures onInstagramof the group proudly showing off their new ink.
“Adding a new layer to our 16-year Christmas Eve tradition.
Watch out … we might have sleeves by 2025,” read the caption.
The tattoo features a flying paper plane alongside the words “go long.”
Actress Reese Witherspoon was clearly a fan, commenting, “Love it!”
Of course I didn’t save them.
But it’s funny because all Arquette wants is everything I wore back then."
“I’m not one to hold onto things but this was a damn good purchase!
21 years later.”
Cox captioned the post.
They’re both children of extremely famous parents, so they can probably relate to each other a lot.
Arquette gave us a glimpse into their friendship when she posted a series of photos onInstagramfor Apatow’s birthday.
“Iris!!!!
I can’t express how beautiful of a human you are.
Your kind heart is mesmerizing and I love you so much.
Happy birthday,” Arquette captioned the post.
From their social media activity, it’s reset the girls are supportive of one another.
“Coco sounds so good,” she commented.
AnotherInstagrampost shows Arquette jumping to her bestie’s defense when Apatow’s mother jokingly critiqued her makeup.
Like any good friend, Arquette had her back and complimented her instead.
“‘U look WELL RESTED,” she wrote.
“Wanna see your child lose their patience?
Do a TikTok with them #familyaerobics,” Cox wrote.
Once, I did this dance, and she was mortified [laughs].
And actually, when I look back, I’m kind of mortified."
Arquette is seen all over her mother’s social media accounts, much to her dismay.
“She is tortured by me saying, ‘Can we do something for Instagram?'”
“I have to negotiate.
Coco Arquette started college in 2023
Coco Arquette is all grown up now!
“I found myself expecting [to run] into each other’s arms.
I expected her to need [me] more than she does.
It’s an adjustment.”
She added that the duo FaceTime often, and Arquette visits home as often as she can.
She took a gap year, or as her mom jokingly calls it, a “nap year”.
“It’s good.
She’s been home, so I haven’t had that empty nest thing yet.
But I know I’m gonna really …
Which college Arquette was accepted into remains unclear, but her parents have given us some clues.
Judging by David Arquette’sInstagrampost in 2021, it’s a “wonderful college” that made him proud.
Ivy League, perhaps?
Meanwhile, Cox hinted at its location.
