Courteney Cox — Future cougar

Courtney Cox may become a “cougar” in future. The 47-year-old actress has starred in three series of Cougar Town — which follows the exploits of a divorced woman who dates much younger men — and as she is already attracted to guys who are not in her age range, she hasn’t ruled out becoming more like her character Jules Cobb.

“It depends on your definition of cougar [whether I am one]. I was married for all of those years to a man seven years younger than me so obviously I’m attracted to younger men,” she said.

“I’ not being a cougar right now, but we’ll see what my future holds.”

Courteney and David have a seven-year-old daughter Coco and the actress is pleased with how well the youngster has coped with her parents’ split.

“She’s dealing with it very well indeed, although she has a lot of questions about what’s going on,” she said

“We have a long drive from our home on the beach to her school – it’s a good 45 or 50 minutes – and that’s a time we use to talk about all sorts of things, like friendships, love and what she’s going through with David and myself. I think communication is key here and I try to keep the channels open.”
