Courteney Cox - Courteney Cox Hugs 'Best Friend' David Arquette In New York

However pictures published by the UK newspaper today, February 14th 2012, showed the pair looking happy in each other's company as they took their daughter out for a meal together in New York. With US series 'Cougar Town' returning to screens this week as well, Cox has been doing the interview rounds and in one admitted she was still close to her former husband. "Yes, David was on Cougar Town, he was great," she said, continuing, "I mean people do not understand why we are just fond of each other. We are best friends. So I know it's confusing but we're great and he was so funny on the show. He's great to work with, I mean I adore him".

In another she was even more explicit, admitting that since the divorce she'd remained celibate. "I have not had sex. It's been about a year. I'm holding to it. I've not had a man since David. I've made out with one guy."
