'Wes had a real impact,' Arquette told PEOPLE. '[He was] like, "David, you know she likes you and you should really get your stuff together." He gave me a real man-to-man talk and that had an impact on the course of my life.'
Arquette and Cox were married in 1999, nearly two years after the first Scream movie was released and welcomed a daughter, Coco, in 2004.
