David Arquette has "shared too much" information about his split from Courteney Cox Arquette this week.

The 39-year-old actor - who announced his separation from the 'Cougar Town' star after 11 years of marriage earlier this week - has apologized for being too honest on Howard Stern's radio show in which he revealed Courteney had gotten tired of being a "mother" to him.

He wrote on his twitter page: "Thank you all for your love and support at this time. I'm trying figuring out how to be the best person I can be, but it's been a process of trial and error.

"I went on Howard Stern to provide clarity and honesty about what I'm experiencing 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 . Life is a process of spiritual evolution. (sic)"

The Hollywood star - who has a six-year-old daughter Coco with Courteney - believes he and his estranged wife will become better people because of the split.

He tweeted: "I'm sure Courteney and myself will emerge from this painful time better people for what we've learned."

However, Courteney, 46, is said to be unsurprised by David's candid interview and doesn't want to get caught up in any "ridiculousness".

A source said: "She knows who David and what he's like. She married him. All that he said, and how he said it, that's David.

"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 the ridiculousness."
