Courteney Cox and actor David Arquette married on June 12, 1999. The couple first met on the set of Wes Craven’s horror comedy Scream  (1996).  Soon afterward, they took their relationship to a romantic level and they dated for years before tying the knot. They exchanged vows in a splashy ceremony held in San Francisco at the Grace Cathedral atop of Nob Hill with 200 guests attending the party. 

The couple welcomed a daughter, Coco Arquette on 13 June 2004. After the birth of their child, Courteney suffered a post-partum depression. She was not herself due to the illness which might have caused problems in her marriage. And so in 2010 they finally split off but had not been divorced. 

It was in June 2012 they officially filed for a divorce at the Los Angeles Superior Court and the process was finalized in May 2013. Cox has indicated that the reason for their break-up was the lack of intimacy in their relationship.
