Who will be next?
With Courteney Cox and David Arquette split, other Hollywood couples seem to belosing hope
Things aren't going well for celebrity marriages. First there was Ashton and Demi's cheating scandal, and this week brought the demise of two seemingly strong unions — Courteney Cox and David Arquette, and Christina Aguilera and hubby Jordan Bratman.
When many celebrity marriages end, it's due to reports of living separate lives or simply too much time spent apart because of demanding work schedules. But in the case of Cox and Arquette, who've been married a lifetime in Hollywood time, it seems that it was time together that drove them apart. (Arquette has since called into Howard Stern's radio program to assert that his own immaturity and Cox's mothering ways were responsible for the split.)
Later, Arquette took to Twitter to apologize for sharing so much.
The couple, who've been married 11 years and are parents to 6-year-old daughter Coco, just wrapped filming on the fourth installment of Scream — the same franchise whose set they met on years ago.
As with the Cox-Arquettes, Aguilera and her husband have yet to start divorce proceedings, and their separation appears to be trial — at least for now.
Both couples have young children — Aguilera and Bratman are parents to son Max, 2 — but not to worry.
Houston's own Hilary Duff is coming to the rescue. The just-married starlet has just released a young-adults Twilight-romance styled book, freeing her to complete her plan to pen a serious tome about children dealing with divorce.
