Courteney Cox and David Arquette lived an “open marriage” in the months before their sudden and shocking split, according to multiple sources close to the pair.

Cox, 46, was linked to Cougar Town co-star Brian Van Holt, while Arquette, 39, was often spotted behaving like a wild and crazy single man, at hotspots around Hollywood.

A source on set at Cougar Town told RadarOnline.com: “Courteney and Brian were all over each at a wrap party in April and the talk on the set was that it was fine because she and David had an open marriage.”

In May, Cox and Van Holt were even spotted out together four times in less than four weeks.

On one occasion, they were photographed at Malibu's Coral Beach Cantina without her husband of 11 years and their six-year-old daughter, Coco.

“They were drinking beer and having chips and salsa in the back of the outdoor patio,” said one eyewitness at Coral Beach Cantina, on May 7.
