STAFF REPORT

Production on "Cougar Town" has been suspended while star Courteney Cox attends to a family matter.

Representatives for the 45-year-old Arquette refused to disclose what the issue was.

In a statement, an ABC rep said: "We can confirm production on 'Cougar Town' has been temporarily shut down in order for Courteney to deal with a private family matter."

Cox has a five-year-old daughter, Coco, with husband David Arquette. She recently admitted she and David want to have more children before it is too late.
