David Arquette confirms that he’s with Joe Francis’ ex wife, is “friends” with ex Courtney

David Arquette called in to Howard Stern’s radio show yesterday, and like his previous talks with Stern he didn’t hold back. The 40 year-old Dancing with The Stars contestant revealed that he’s been dating an entertainment reporter based out of New York, Christina McLarty, who also happens to be the ex wife of Joe Francis. We first heard rumors that these two were together over the summer, and things seem to be getting serious for them.

David also said that he’s in “friends” territory with his estranged wife, Courteney Cox Arquette. Courteney has been seen in the audience on Dancing With The Stars along with their seven year-old daughter, Coco. The fact that David is happily dating again, and that he’s been with his new girlfriend for at least a few months, makes me wonder if he’s ever going to officially divorce Courteney. It’s nice that they’re keeping it civil, though. Here’s more:

Stern, of course, started in with questions about Courteney, asking David why she is in the audience every week at Dancing With the Stars and whether David is still pining for her.

“I’m not; we’re in the friend zone now,” he said, adding that Cox knows he’s been seeing someone new since the summer.

Even though Courteney’s in the crowd, Arquette says his new special somebody is the first one to call him every week after the show and that she just can’t be there because she lives in New York.

And who is that?

“It’s Barbara Walters,” David joked.

He didn’t give up his new gal’s name right away though, but eventually caved and admitted her name is Christina McLarty. McLarty is a reporter for Entertertainment Tonight, as well as being Girls Gone Wild Joe Francis’ ex-wife/domestic partner. Arquette says they met on a boat party early this past summer.

“She’s adorable. I’m not one to run around with different girls. I like someone that makes me feel good and that I can make feel good,” said Arquette.

David says the two have been Skyping up a storm and have taken a few road trips together since they hooked up in the summer months.

“We try to see each other as much as possible,” he said.

As for the show, David talked rehearsing and how he should cry on camera to get a sympathy vote from the public.

“I cried in rehearsal one day,” he revealed, joking that any one who was going to vote for him certainly won’t now. “I got overwhelmed with emotion.”

When Stern began talking about how he fast forwards through the “fat people dancing,” David revealed that he loves all different body types and said that he finds Lacey Schwimmer to be “one of the sexiest girls on the show.”

David, still sober, says because of the show and his new gal pal, “everything is good.”

David was going through such a hard time getting over Courteney, (and her infidelity which he refused to accept) so that’s nice to hear that he’s moved on. What I want to know is how a woman can go from a sociopathic probably abusive douche like Joe Francis to a sensitive funny good guy like Arquette. I mean Arquette has his problems, but he got booted by Courtney, not the other way around, and doesn’t seem to have cheated on her when they were together. He’s on this journey of sobriety and self discovery. He just seems vulnerable and sweet to me, while Francis is a manipulative jerk who makes titty films. Maybe McLarty realized that she needed to do a complete 180 from her ex if she wanted to be in a decent relationship. At least she got out of her marriage soon enough and divorced Francis within two months.

Also, that was really nice what Arquette said about finding Lacey Schwimmer sexy. When she dances and is dressed by other people, she really is. On her own she’s a hot mess, but that’s due to her fashion, not her size at all. I enjoy seeing Arquette on DWTS and I hope he hangs in there for a while. He was in the bottom two this week though, and narrowly missed being voted off.

This chick bears a very superficial resemblance to Courteney when she was younger.

    I love the Arquettes. And his new piece looks kind of like Rashida Jones.

    Lacy Schwimmer is not fat, btw. She might be a little stocky, definitely muscular, but she is soooo not fat.

  2. Sam says:

    She is an entertainment reporter. Call me skeptical but I assume David has far better connections in the business than Joe. Maybe I am being a debbie downer, but I hope he has AT LEAST considered the possibility.

  3. Mitch Buchanan Rocks says:

    It would be interesting for David Arquette and Tom Cruise to do a film together – they look like they could be cousins.

  4. JaneWonderfalls says:

    He’s dating but they are still married? This makes no sense to me, is Courtney okay with this. I understand they are separated but, she’s supporting him by being on dancing with the stars and where is is girlfriend.IDK this is really a weird situation.

  5. Vanessa says:

    I think new GF looks a little rough…

  6. Dhavy says:

    @Jane
    I don’t see how Courtney wouldn’t be ok with it, she was dating whats-his-name from her show before

  7. tracking says:

    @Vanessa, ITA. But she was married to Joe Francis. how could she not be a little rough? She could be a nice girl, but she’s not on the same level as Courteney Cox. Maybe he finds that reassuring for now.

  8. Kara Ann says:

    Hmmm…The dating thing seems strange since they are still married. I always liked them as a couple and hoped that they could patch things up. If they aren’t going to even try to get back together then they should just get the divorce out of the way, IMO. Whatever, but it is wonderful to see that they (Courtney and David) are being more then civil. That must make things easier for their daughter.

  9. mln76 says:

    I don’t think they are divorcing anytime soon. They married without a pre-nup and they had trial separations before they were married and have even been rumored to have an open relationship.

  10. Nancy C. says:

    if he is dating and trying to move on, then it is totally inappropriate for courtney to be in the audience. the daughter can be there without the mom. i know the kid probably wants them to be around each other, but it can be done in a kind way. courtney should show a little respect and not be there every week. just sayin.

  11. Miss Kitty says:

    She looks like JWoww from Jersey Shore.

  12. Violet says:

    From all accounts, they had a traditional marriage until Courtney asked for a separation more than a year ago and told him they should both be free to see other people. I remember David talking about crying after the first time he had sex after the split, because being with someone else was so upsetting to him but it was what Courtney wanted.

    For the longest time, David was hopeful that he and Courtney might reconcile but she’s made it pretty clear that she’s not interested. She didn’t even want to have sex with him for months leading up to the separation, and has had zero interest in resuming a physical relationship with David.

    It was heartbreaking listening to her on Howard Stern’s show where she was annoyed that David got aroused every time he hugged her. Frankly, I’d be flattered if my partner of over a decade still found me so sexy but it was obvious Courtney found it distasteful. David wanted to make the marriage work, but I get the sense that Courtney was sure from the start that the relationship was over, even though she claimed it was just a trial separation.

    I hope Christina McLarty is a nice person, despite her having been married to someone as douchetastic as Joe Francis. David seems like a really sweet guy, and he deserves to be happy.

  13. Iggles says:

    I felt so sorry for the dude. The break up with Courtney devastated him. Seemed like it was doomed from the start, due to their differences in personality. I think overtime she grew tired of him and wanted someone more grown up and refined. Very sad, mainly because while she handled the dumping poorly the reasons it didn’t work out was nobody’s fault…

  14. your mama says:

    He def seems to have a type. New gf has amazing eyes – huge.

  15. smh says:

    sad 🙁

  16. Maritza says:

    If they are not getting back together they should get divorced so he can find happiness with his new girlfriend. I think he is sweet but it’s like watching a giggling kid.

    “This chick bears a very superficial resemblance to Courteney when she was younger.”

    This chick can’t be too much younger than Courteney, judging by the permanent frown lines on the forehead and crow’s feet around the eyes. Being photographed together with the deeply creased face of David Arquette will shave about ten years of the age of his new girlfriend. His leathery mug belongs on the front page of a Faces of Sun Damage website.
