David Arquette gets engaged six days after his ex Courteney Cox.

His ex-wife isn’t the only one with big news…

Just shy of a week after Courteney Cox got engaged, her ex-husband David Arquette, 42, has popped the question to his girlfriend, 33-year-old entertainment reporter Christine McLarty. The pair have been dating since 2011 but it seems things are back on track after they had a brief separation in 2012.

Is this what they call a “revenge” engagement? Apparently not, according to Us Weekly, David had “planned it for a while” and it was just a coincidence that it fell so close to Courteney’s engagement. Courteney and David split in 2010 after almost 11 years of marriage. 

“He and Courteney both talked about taking the next step in their relationship. They both want what’s best for each other,” the magazine reports.

Last week, Courteney Cox and her musician boyfriend Johnny McDaid confirmed their engagement.

And now, thanks to the jeweller. We have a photo of the ring.

Earlier this month the pair, who got together late last year, celebrated Cox's 50th birthday by holidaying in the tropical Turks and Caicos. It was when they returned to LA however, that a sparkling engagement ring became more fascinating than Courteney's sterling bikini body... Dang it.

The pair released matching his 'n her engagement announcements via Twitter. Aww.

Courtney Cox released this one...
... and her fiance released this!

We can't wait to see the close up pictures of the ring! (Maybe they'll both post it to Twitter simultaneously?)
