Last year she separated from her 11-year-husband David Arquette, and Courteney Cox still isn’t ready to start dating again.

The “Friends” actress chatted with Anderson Cooper about the juggling act of being a working mom, and how nurturing a romance just isn’t in the cards for her right now.

Cox explained, “Yeah, you know it’s hard. I probably caught up to this whole situation later than he did. And, I am really happy for him and he’s got a girlfriend. Everything’s great, I know it seems so weird, it’s even weird for me to say that.”

Courteney also noted that her estranged hubby has encouraged her to find a special someone. “David said, ‘Courteney, you’ve got to get out there.’ I’m easing my way in.”

Regarding her daughter Coco’s reaction to her parents splitting up, Courteney shared, “I think she’s a really old soul this kid. I mean she says things like, ‘Mom, I don’t want you to get hurt but daddy has a girlfriend.’ She’s just kind of a really unique kid. Obviously she’d like to see us back together because all kids do but she understands that we’re okay, that we love each other and we will always be a family. I tell her everything, we both are like that, we tell her everything.”
