Actor David Arquette is baffled by reports suggesting his 11-year marriage to Courteney Cox is in trouble, insisting they have a "beautiful relationship".
The stars met on the set of the original Scream horror movie and went on to wed and have a daughter, Coco, together.
The couple has been dogged by rumours of an impending split in recent weeks, but Arquette is adamant there is no truth to the reports - and he wants his friends to stop worrying.
He tells People.com, "It turns up in the tabloids and your friends start calling you like there's a problem. Like, they say, 'If you need to talk...' Hey, we don't need to talk. There's nothing (wrong). We have a really great, beautiful relationship."
Arquette insists no relationship is easy, but he's convinced the key to his successful marriage is communication: "Whenever things come up, we deal with them. We communicate. I would never do anything to jeopardise our relationship, you know what I mean. I'm committed, and we're honest with each other... Relationships take a lot of work.
"We respect each other, care for each other and love each other. And I feel blessed that she's my wife and that we have an amazing family."
The couple celebrated its 11th wedding anniversary on Saturday (12Jun10) with a family outing and a memorable dinner.
He says, "In the daytime we went to Disneyland, and in the evening we had a beautiful dinner. We ate exactly what we ate when we got married - steak and lobster."
