Maybe they were shopping for forget-me-nots.
Separated spouses Courteney Cox, 46, and David Arquette, 37, reunited at a Malibu flower mart on Saturday. (The couple has homes in both Malibu and Beverly Hills.)

Married since 1999, Cox recently told Harper's Bazaar that she asked for the trial separation last year because "when you get older, it's more about compatibility than it is love." See more photos of the two in Malibu.

Citing a need for "peace and stillness," the Cougar Town actress added that she's "kind of all over the place, and I need grounding. I want to be calm. I want to change a lot. It's nothing with David. It's just what I'm searching for."
For now, Cox and Arquette (parents to daughter Coco, 6) are trying to figure out what's best for their relationship.

"If [our marriage] doesn't work out, I will have huge waves of pain about failing in that department," Cox said. "But right now I don't have that because I don't know what the future holds and I guess because I have strong feelings for him."
Arquette -- who spent 28 days at the Betty Ford Center in January -- isn't ready to throw in the towel, either.

"I want her to be happy, and if me even being the best person I can be doesn't make her happy in a partner -- like, who she needs, whatever she's looking for -- that's still to be answered," he told Oprah Winfrey in February.
"I know that I'll be with her for my whole life," he said. "We have an amazing family together and we're really great parents together."
Tell Us What You Think
5Julia, I think I know what Kim means - kicking the father out because you have problems is selfish. If you deal with your problems by ignoring your partner - that's screwed up too - both people need to be adults. Your outlook seems to reinforce why people divorce. You deal with stuff, you don't ignore it and you don't walk away from it. The daughter just wants her mom and dad, she could give a flying fig if they are "grounded." For every kid who lived with parents who hardly talked to each other, there's a kid who lived with a mom who needed to "find herself". Get over it. Work through your problems, don't walk away from them, that's how marriages work.
Hope they can work things out. David needs to not just try, he needs to really change!!
Kim, staying together and being unhappy would be "screwing with her daughters life". Figuring it out, like they do, is keeping her happy and safe. I know how it is to live with parents who hardly talk to each other. not pretty at all.
How is she thinking about her daughter? She needs grounding?? Good Lord find the grounding without kicking your daughter's father out of the house -- she says its not about him, its about her...then grow up and deal instead of screwing with your daughter's life.
I give them credit for trying to work on it, and thinking of their daughter.
