Arquette - David with wife Courteney Cox

The former 'Friends' actress, who has been plagued by constant rumours her 10-year union to David Arquette is in trouble, says she is enjoying every aspect of her life and never imagined she could be so happy.

Speaking to Grazia, Cox Arquette, who has a five-year-old daughter Coco with Arquette, said: "I can honestly say that I have the best marriage, the best husband and the best daughter.

"They are the things that have given me real happiness - so much more than anything else.

"I don't think I ever thought I would end up as happy as I am today.

"What I love about David is that he thinks I'm a great wife. Isn't that fantastic? I love that. And he tells me, too, which is even better."

The 45-year-old star also revealed she has only just become comfortable with her looks.

"When I was younger I did struggle with my confidence. I was self-critical and I guess suddenly becoming famous puts all this pressure on you, people talking about the way you look and what you wear.

"When I look back at old pictures of myself now, I think: 'Hey, I looked great,' but at the time I was always worrying.

"I actually feel so much better about myself now but it has taken time to feel this way."
