On Monday we learned that Courteney Cox and David Arguette split apart on a trial basis. The split is not an official long-term breakup as of yet. However, rumors have begun to surface that the reason for the split is that Cox found out that David Arquette has been intimately involved with Jasmine Waltz.

David Arquette, who is 39-years-old had been married to Courteney Cox, who is 46-years-old for 11 years. Jasmine Waltz, is a 27-year-old aspiring actress. Reports are that Arquette and Waltz have been seen together and have been “hooking up” lately.

Could it be that Arquette is having a mid-life crisis and realizes that his wife, although very beautiful is getting up there in age? We have seen this before in Hollywood where younger males have been dating old females. Arquette may see Jasmine Waltz as someone who will remain attractive for far more years than Courteney Cox.

According to a joint statement released by Cox and Arquette, “The reason for this separation is to better understand ourselves and the qualities we need in a partner and for our marriage. We remain best friends and responsible parents to our daughter and we still love each other deeply.”

It looks as though the quality Arquette is looking for is youth, while Cox is looking for someone who is ready to settle down with her and devote their lives to each other.

Cox has been seen still wearing her wedding ring, while Arquette does not have his on. Will this split be permanent, or will they realize that they still want to continue their marriage?
