In Palm Desert, California, Courteney Cox spoke openly about her transition to being an empty nester during an event on Thursday, the Inc. 5000 45th Annual Conference & Gala. She reflected on her daughter's new experience in college, acknowledging that she initially did not grasp the emotional weight others felt during this life change. Cox described how her daughter, Coco, who is 20 years old and shares her parenting with ex-husband David Arquette, has grown during her first year away at school. Upon returning for summer break, Coco presented herself as more mature and engaged, which deeply impacted Cox. She expressed her feelings of reluctance for Coco to return for her second year of college, noting it was significantly harder for her as a parent. Additionally, Cox has recently launched a skincare line named after Coco, which symbolizes their strong mother-daughter bond. This line, part of her Home Court brand, illustrates how much she values her connection to her daughter. The actress, who gained fame in the iconic series 'Friends' and the 'Scream' franchise, is also discussing her potential return for a seventh installment of the Scream series, although no official signing has taken place yet. Filming for the upcoming sequel is reported to start in December, giving her time to make her decision regarding participation.
