Courteney Cox's Daughter Is Growing Up Fast

While Cox and Arquette seemed to be living a charmed life, bringing Coco Arquette into the world did not come easily — the couple suffered countless setbacks on their road to parenthood. Before announcing her pregnancy, Cox told People, "I get pregnant pretty easily, but I have a hard time keeping them." The couple reportedly suffered several miscarriages and tried in vitro fertilization.

However, in 2004, Cox and Arquette announced that they were expecting, and the couple seemed to be eagerly anticipating their new arrival. Arquette told People, "I can't wait to read stories and play games and the whole thing." People reports that Cox checked into a Los Angeles hospital midday on June 12, 2004. After hours of labor, just over a month after the Friends series finale aired, Coco was born on June 13, 2004, one week ahead of her due date.

From the very beginning, Coco Arquette was surrounded by fame. Courteney Cox, her mother, gained tremendous fame from the hit TV series Friends and the popular horror movie Scream. David Arquette was well known for his roles in Scream and the romantic-comedy Never Been Kissed. But the fame doesn't end there. David Arquette also comes from an acting family. His grandfather, Cliff Arquette, had been an actor and comedian. His parents, Lewis Arquette and Brenda Denaut, were actors. All four of his siblings (Patricia Arquette, Richmond Arquette, Rosanna Arquette, and the late Alexis Arquette) have also worked as actors.

In addition to being directly related to so many famous performers, Coco also has close connections with other celebrities. People reports that Jennifer Aniston, Cox's good friend and former co-star, is Coco's godmother. In fact, Aniston traveled to Birmingham, Ala., to attend her baptism. Cox told People, "Jennifer has the biggest heart, and there could be no better godmother."

While the marriage between Courteney Cox and David Arquette did not survive, their split led to Coco gaining new family on both sides.

Cox announced her engagement to Snow Patrol musician Johnny McDaid in 2014. On The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Cox explained that her engagement ring was custom designed and represents her, McDaid, and Coco. McDaid told Us Weekly that he is one of six children. He stated: "We're kind of growing as it is and Courtney and Coco often come over and we all have a big gathering."

Coco also gained new family on her father's side when he married actress/journalist Christina McLarty in 2015, making her the newest Arquette. Christina told InStyle, "The most important aspect was just to get our families together." Cox told Ellen DeGeneres that her daughter even sang "I Will Always Love You" for the newlyweds at their wedding. Coco's new stepmom told People, "Coco is just such a wonderful young lady. I'm so proud of her. ... I'm so fortunate for that as a stepparent, and that she has two great parents and everybody just gets along so great."

While Coco is still just 14 years old, according to her mother, she can come across as older than her years. In an interview with HollywoodLife.com when Coco was just 10, Cox said "She's into so much right now. ... It's like she is 30 but not!" That being said, Coco did enjoy one very popular childhood activity: sleepovers. While she may have enjoyed some childhood favorites, Coco has been prone to ambitious goals. 

Cox told The Ellen DeGeneres Show that 10-year-old Coco wanted to take charge of the wedding she was planning with Johnny McDaid, hoping to do everything from being maid of honor to flower girl to all the bridesmaids. However, Coco's plans never came to fruition as Cox and McDaid have thus far opted out of a formal marriage — though Cox told People, "I'm married in my heart." And hopefully, Coco will always be the maid of honor, flower girl and all the bridesmaids in Cox's heart.

Courtney Cox famously appeared in a video for Bruce Sprinsteen's "Dancing in the Dark," and Coco followed in her mom's footsteps, having already appeared in two music videos as a young teen. In the music video for Monogem's "Wild," Coco plays a girl who is having a good time with her best friend. Monogem told LADYGUNN "Amidst the kids' smokey, neon reality, the boy is cross dressing for the first time in a safe and comfortable environment without any judgement."

Coco also appeared in the music video for Foy Vance's "Coco," a song written for her. Cox told People, "Johnny [McDaid] brought Foy into my life a few years ago, and, immediately, he became a very close friend. He also got to know my daughter, Coco, and a song was born." Of the song, Cox told People, "From the first time Foy played 'Coco' for me — and every time I've heard it since — I've felt he captured, not only Coco's unique personality but also the beautiful childhood innocence that sadly, but inevitably, fades with time." The music video also provided a unique mother-daughter experience, as Cox directed the video. 

While she was born into fame, in many ways she's still just a normal teenager facing normal teenage issues. Cox told People, "I want her to tell me everything, and she doesn't want to tell me anything." While Coco's relationship with her mother may seem strong, it is not without occasional drama. "We bicker, let's be honest, but we love each other," Cox told People. "It's mostly me telling Coco, 'Please get out of your room and come and have dinner in the kitchen.' There's a lot of that, for sure."

However, in spite of the occasional tiff, there's still a lot of love. In an interview with PeopleTV, Coco said "If the stressful situation is going on, she helps me contain my stress and make me feel better." Coco also told People, "I would also describe it as, well, I am a 13-year-old girl, you [Cox] are a mom, so I love you, but of course we're gonna get in fights. But we're very close. Very close. I love you a lot."
