David Arquette's girlfriend Christina McLarty is expecting a baby boy.

The 'Scream' actor's ex-wife Courteney Cox, with whom he has a nine-year-old daughter, Coco, confirmed that the couple will welcome a son into the world later this year.

The 49-year-old 'Cougar Town' star told 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' on Tuesday (07.01.14): "They're going to have a baby boy. I hope I'm allowed to say that."

'Entertainment Tonight' host Christina has been tight-lipped about her first pregnancy to date but is rumoured to be preparing to give birth in March.

David hailed Christina to be the love of his life last October.

He said: "I'm madly in love with her and she's the love of my life. Absolutely."

The actor split from former 'Friends' star Courteney in 2010 after 11 years of marriage and he previously insisted they are still very close.

An insider also recently said: "Although they're divorced, Courteney will never stop caring about David - especially now that he's going to give Coco a half-sibling ... David and Courteney see each other nearly every day as their producing business thrives."
