'Dancing With The Stars' Premiere: Courteney Cox & Daughter Coco Support David Arquette (VIDEO)

Dancing With The Stars David Arquette

Rob Kardashian may have had his own Kardashian cheering section during Monday night's "Dancing With the Stars" premiere (Sept. 19), but actor David Arquette had a few cheerleaders of his own -- estranged wife Courteney Cox and their daughter Coco.

The 40-year-old actor, who split with the former "Friends" star after 11 years of marriage in October 2010, recently celebrated over eight months of sobriety, and Courteney and Coco, 7, looked proud as they cheered him on from the front row.

Performing a Viennese waltz, David and his dancing partner Kym Johnson received a standing ovation from the audience and a few compliments from the show's judges.

"I was very impressed," Len told Arquette. "You're a dancer."

Following the routine, David -- who received a score of 18 for his moves -- said of daughter Coco: "She's just so beautiful. She's the love of my life."

And then the camera pans to Coco, and it's definitely the most adorable moment of the night.

So nice to see people who reached an agreement not to be married but remember why they were married in the first place.
Kind of like adults.
Let the kids play the games.

He did better than I expected last night. He showed great showman potential. I wanna see how he does on a fast-paced and sexy dance. His daughter is too cute! Go David!! =D

David exemplifies that drug addition and alcoholism is a disease. He had me captivated last evening!

David was by far the best and looked like this was show 10 seriously. I agree with other comments that we know who Courtney fell in love with.
David you looked like a truely elegant young man on the dance floor. Your scores should have been much much higher but I think they try to keep it more even in the first few shows.
Keep up the good work David, and Chaz, as I think you boys are the underdogs, and the ones people thought would not be taken seriously.
To me, I am taking you both very seriously now, especially YOU David. Keep going Chaz and you will get there too.

I thought David did great. Nice of Courtney to support him. I think we saw last night the guy that Courtney fell in love with.

Maybe with the new sobriety, they might get back together.

i guess i have never seen him interviewed before but he has a "stoner" personality, which surprised me. it was nice to see his wife and daughter there, though. he looked really proud and humble, seemed genuine in his happiness to be there.

really liked how he mentioned his sobriety.

He's goofy, but I thought he was awesome, and I'm not a huge fan of his. Nice to see his family there.
