After taking heat for his revealing interview on Howard Stern's Sirius radio show earlier this month, David Arquette dished more private details of his split with Courteney Cox on Wednesday.

Arquette, who later apologized via Twitter for over-sharing, admitted that Cox was not happy he spoke so candidly about their relationship the day after the two announced their trial separation.

"She got really pissed," Arquette, 39, told Howard Stern Wednesday morning. "We talked it all out and then we took a walk and it was great … She had a right to get upset about some of the personal details."

In his initial interview with Stern, Arquette revealed that Cox, 46, was tired of being his mother and that they haven't had sex in four months.

Wednesday, Arquette admitted to crying following the first time he slept with another woman after 11 years of marriage, "because it was the end of all the intimacy I shared with my wife."

He later addressed rumors that he'd cheated on Cox, explaining that their separation agreement allowed them to see other people. "I was faithful to my wife for 11 years … completely devoted," he said Wednesday on Regis & Kelly.

The actor, who has a 6-year-old daughter, Coco, with Cox, hasn't ruled out the possibility of getting back together with his wife, and hopes some space might help their relationship. "We gotta kind of make this separation more separate ... Just not so easy to communicate," he told Stern.

When pressed by Stern about whether he was ready to move on, Arquette said, "The fact of the matter is that I am still [expletive] in love with my wife – that's the bottom line."

David Arquette talks about separation with wife Courteney Cox on ‘Regis and Kelly’

Out on a media blitz promoting Scream 4 and his directorial stint on CSI: Miami, actor David Arquette found himself responding to more personal questions this morning on Live! with Regis & Kelly. When asked why he’s been so open about his separation with wife, actress Courteney Cox, Arquette said it’s because several reports erroneously claimed he’d been unfaithful to his wife. Arquette appeared to grow emotional as he explained the real situation: “I was faithful to my wife for 11 years, completely devoted,” he said. “We had been separated for a while and we didn’t want to make that public, so it wouldn’t be a big deal. But we also had an agreement that we could date other people. I didn’t want to be labeled as a cheater.”

He also said that they’re still close — they had dinner together last night — and there’s still a chance they’ll get back together. “There’s always a chance, yeah. I mean, I love her with all my heart,” he said. “I’ll be friends with her forever.” Watch the clip below:

What do you think of Arquette’s explanation for speaking out? Is there anything he can say that will make his life easier? Or should he take a page from Cox’s book and remain quiet?

If I Divorce Courteney Cox, Am I Set for Life? - E! Online (blog)

With all these celebrity splits, I'm wondering: When a star like Courteney Cox divorces a nobody, is their ex automatically set for life?
—CarLuv, via the inbox

Now, now. Let's not talk like that, lest we make Kevin Federline cry. Then again, we'd have to assume that Kevin Federline is able to read the previous sentence. Forget I said anything.

I assume you speak not only of the Cox-David Arquette split (Can we call them the Croquettes? Please?) but also the recent separation involving Christina Aguilera and That Guy.

Here's what we know:

FACEBOOK: Like the Answer B!tch!

California law says that anything earned by either party during a marriage belongs equally to both spouses in the event of a divorce.

But that right can, and usually is, signed away by the poorer party via the celebrated celebrity prenup.

Unless Aguilera or Cox had some supremely terrible advisers at the time of their weddings—not likely, even a little bit—both of these couples probably have some brilliantly crafted prenups.

And those agreements probably shield Cox from losing half her earnings at the hands of the star of Eight Legged Freaks.

(For the record, it's not clear what either of these prenups might say, or whether each couple for sure has one, but come on. Aguilera alone is worth a reported $60 million. Cox? An apparent $75 million, thanks to that cutesy sitcom she did in the '90s.)

What do those prenups likely say?

Well, I am told, they probably provide some sort of cash payout or monthly paycheck for the less wealthy ex—a fair amount if not half. Think 20 percent, maybe 30, maybe a lump sum with some wiggle room for a cost-of-living increase.

Says family law attorney Robert Brandt, "It's extremely unlikely that either prenup calls for the less famous spouse to walk away with nothing. If that were the case, the prenup could get thrown out in the courts for being unfair or unconscionable when it comes time to enforce it."

In other words, says prenup-lawyer-to-the-stars Fred Silberberg of Silberberg & Ross, "I don't think anyone will be walking away poor."

Silberburg recently crafted a prenup for a celebrity who shall go nameless here. In that agreement, one celebrity agrees to set aside a payment to the spouse of $150,000 for every year they're married. The money belongs to the spouse regardless of divorce, but in the event of a split, the spouse does not get any additional support. That may be one way that Aguilera or Cox has things set up, as well.

Does that mean that Arquette—whose biggest payday seems to be his $5 million gig in Freaks—can sit back and do nothing? Probably not.

Not, at least, if we wants to keep living in the same style as he did when he was with gazillionaire Cox; $150,000 doesn't even come close to meeting those monthly bills if you're used to spending like a Friends star.

You can bet that you'll be seeing Arquette again—that is, if he can get a gig.

David Arquette Apologizes for Dishing on Courteney Cox - People Magazine

Too much information – and way too soon.

So says David Arquette who's now apologizing for going public about his crumbling marriage and lack of sex with now-estranged wife Courteney Cox.

"I went on Howard Stern yesterday to provide clarity and honesty about what I'm experiencing," Arquette, 39, explains on his Twitter page Wednesday. "But while doing that I shared too much. … It's alright for me to be honest about my own feelings but in retrospect some of the information I provided involved others and for that I am sorry and humbled."

In the lengthy interview on Stern's Sirius radio show the morning after announcing the trial separation, Arquette revealed he hadn't had sex with Cox for four months and speculated she didn't want to be his "mother" anymore.

But despite his regrets over his statements, he now says he believes this rough patch in his life will only make him stronger.

"I'm sure Courteney and myself will emerge from this painful time better people from what we've learned," he wrote. "Thank you for all your Love and support at this time. I'm trying figuring out how to be the best person I can be."

A source, who says Cox was not at all shocked that Arquette went public about their private life, told PEOPLE, "Does she wish she could edit what comes out of his mouth? Sure. But nothing surprises her at this point. What's amazing about Courteney is that she doesn't get caught up in all the ridiculousness."

Just last week, David Arquette visited wife Courteney Cox on the set of her show Cougar Town, snapping pictures that he posted on the Internet.

"Courteney's Cougar Town dressing room. The girl's got style," Arquette wrote on his Twitter page last Friday, adding a picture of the room.

Things seemed so normal that colleagues were shocked Monday to hear that the couple had decided to try a "trial separation" after 11 years of marriage. The couple said in a statement that the split "dates back for some time."

"There was no indication anything was going on. This news today, it's very sad," one source tells PEOPLE.

"They we're perfectly professional, though not particularly cuddly," another observer says. "[They] just talked to friends on set. None of them knew about the split until just now."

As production resumed Monday, it was "business as usual at the show," the source says.
