Courtney Cox rose to fame with one of the most popular television shows of all time, Friends. The fact that she could relate to Monica on a personal level made her portray the character so convincingly on screen. From the obsession with cleanliness to the excessively competitive spirit, the parallels between Cox and her on-screen character are uncanny. Apart from these compulsive traits, Cox and Monica also shared another commonality, which was their innate motherly nature. 

While Monica was a mother to the entire group of Friends on the show, Cox’s love as a mother extends beyond the screen. The actress recently shared her struggle to deal with the absence of her daughter, Coco, who left home for college. 

Courtney Cox misses her daughter Coco

Courtney Cox is currently going through the emotional phase of an empty nester after her 19-year-old daughter went off to college. The actress recently shared with Marie Claire that she expected her daughter to need her more while being away. She added, “I miss that girl every minute,” despite staying in touch over calls and FaceTime. The actress then went on to recall the time she had matching tattoos with her daughter, Coco. 

Courtney Cox, along with her daughter, decided to break the usual and get tattoos on Christmas Eve. Cox, who shares her daughter with David Arquette, revealed getting a paper plane tattoo along with the phrase “go long”. However, this was not the only time the scream actress expressed her struggles of being an empty nester in public. 

Last year, Cox shared her biggest challenge as a mother of a teenager while promoting her home-care product line Homecourt. 

Cox admitted being bad with boundaries 

During a 2022 interview with People magazine, the Friends alum talked about having difficulties in accepting the reality of being an empty nester. The star shared how she never thought about the day when her daughter would not be living with her. Cox had difficulties wrapping her head around the fact that Coco was growing up and she needed her own space. She admitted being unable to understand boundaries, saying, “I’m not always good with boundaries”, which sometimes led to arguments. 

The Masters of the Universe actress also talked about her home-care product line, Homecourt, which received a spot on Allure’s Best Products list. Cox shared that her product line drew inspiration from her mother, who was a role model to her. The actress then expressed her desire to build the same kind of relationship with Coco that she had with her own mother.
