Courteney Cox shares rare photos of her and ex David Arquette's daughter Coco as she turns 22

Courteney Cox celebrated her daughter Coco's 22nd birthday with a sweet Instagram post on Saturday.

The 61-year-old actress shared two photos and added a sentimental caption reading: 'Happy Birthday Co. You are such a wise soul. Funniest person I know and my life teacher. I love you x.'

One present day photo showed the mother and daughter smiling cheek-to-cheek.

A second one was from Coco's childhood and showed the doting mom holding her only child in the ocean.

Cox shares Coco with 54-year-old ex-husband David Arquette, who also shared a birthday tribute on Instagram.

The actor, who is now married to Christina McLarty, shared two separate posts, including one with the caption, 'I’m so proud to be your papa @cocoarquette_ Happy 22nd Birthday! I know this is going to be a magical world.'

Coco commented under a separate post featuring three photos of them, 'I love you so much!!' 

In October 2024 Cox reflected on sending her daughter off to college.

She said while speaking at the Inc. 5000 45th Annual Conference & Gala, 'It's weird because people get upset the first year your kid goes off to school and I was like, "What's the big deal? She doesn't talk to me anyway, she's always in her room."'

The actress explained it hit her after Coco returned home for summer break.

'Then she comes home after her first year in college and she was all mature and talking more,' she shared.

'And I mean, she's incredible. She's a really special, smart, funny kid.

'But then I was like, I don't want you to go back to college,' she admitted. 'The second year was harder for me.'

Cox and Arquette married in 1999 but divorced in 2013, three years after their separation, and have remained on amicable terms. 

They reunited earlier this year at the red carpet premiere of Scream 7, which hit theaters on February 27.

Cox got engaged to Snow Patrol musician Johnny McDaid, 49, in 2014, but the couple later called off the wedding.

Although they got back together in 2016, the actress confirmed in 2019 that they were not actually engaged again. 

'He's not my fiancé. We were engaged to be married but now we're just together,' she explained during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

'We broke off our engagement and he moved to England, then we got back together and it's actually better than it was before. Everything's better,' she explained.
