So amicable it's almost confusing!
For his Dancing with the Stars debut on Monday, David Arquette had two lovely ladies cheering the loudest for him: his daughter Coco, 7, and estranged wife Courteney Cox.

"I thought David did such an amazing job," Cox, 47, told Us Weekly after the show. Arquette, 40, and partner Kym Johnson scored a middling 18 out of 30 points for their Viennese waltz. "It's the most nerve wracking thing I've ever experienced and I'm so proud. I loved it. He had such grace and such style," Cox added.

The Cougar Town star added that Coco loved being part of the special night. "She is really excited to be here -- she is proud of her dad. It was really fun for her."
"It meant a lot to have [Courteney] and Coco here tonight," Arquette told Us.

After 11 years of marriage, Cox and Arquette announced they were separating back in October 2010. But while both have since been frank about their marital woes -- and Cox spent a high-profile vacation in the company of sexy Cougar Town costar Josh Hopkins -- they've remained completely friendly.
Indeed, perhaps even Coco herself isn't always clear about her parents' dynamic lately. In one interview, Arquette gushed of his daughter: "She's the light of my life!"

Overhearing, an excited Coco turned to her mom and said "He's talking about you!"
"No," Cox said, correcting her. "Dad's talking about you!"
Tell Us What You Think
3Glad he is sober especially for his daughter's sake. Have always thought Courtney could do SO much better and deserves someone much more mature. SO immature of him to put their sex life 'out there' all over radio and t.v. She could have thrown it back in his face after that, which he deserved. Obviously she's a kind person and a great Mom.
He looked so happy, healthy & so handsome! I am quite proud of him and I don't even know he. He deserved way better scores but he did mess up just a bit towards the end. His facial expression made the mistake more noticeable. His daugther was delightful with her mom cheering on daddy. REALLY warmed my heart.
He did fabulous. I always expect him to be a bumbling fool, but he was so graceful last night. I think he got ripped off by the judges.
