Their bond with their daughter has been equally strong.
In April, Cox and Coco gave their first joint interview together for PEOPLE’sThe Beautiful Issue, joking about their mother/daughter bond.
“I want her to tell me everything, and she doesn’t want to tell me anything. Exactly the opposite of the childhood I had,” Cox said, adding, “We bicker, let’s be honest, but we love each other. We laugh a lot, for sure.”
Explained Coco: “I would also describe it as, well, I am a [teenage] girl, you are a mom, so I love you, but of course we’re gonna get in fights. But we’re very close. Very close. I love you a lot.”

Cox also gushed about Coco’s budding acting career, saying that her daughter has been in 16 musicals so far. “My daughter is an incredible singer,” Cox said. “She does plays. No, I’m not being a stage mom. … She is really good.”
Meanwhile, Arquette has something else he’s strict about when it comes to Coco.
“With Coco, there’s a ‘Don’t Google Daddy’ clause,” the actor joked to PEOPLE last July during a sit-down with wifeChristinaforCeleb Parents Get Real.
Something Coco probably wouldn’t be able to find during an internet search about her dad? His most embarrassing parenting moment.
“I decided to put on the Spider-Man outfit that [Charlie]’s been asking me to put on,” Arquette said. “It’s a commitment — it’s a tight outfit. There’s no hiding in a Spider-Man outfit. I’m not really in Marvel shape at the moment.”
Charlie loved seeing his dad as thefriendly neighborhood web-slingerwhen the actor picked him up from school, but there was one slight snag: Arquette’s next stop was to pick up Coco, who didn’t have quite the same reaction.
“She was mortified,” Christina admitted.
