Patricia Arquette, 56, reveals she is single and uses dating apps in candid interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show

Patricia Arquette revealed that she is looking for love online after quietly ending her longtime relationship with Eric White. 

While appearing on Tuesday’s episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, the actress, 56, confirmed that she is currently single and using dating apps. 

When asked by Clarkson if she gets ‘scared’ of meeting up with her matches, the Oscar winner, who was previously married to Nicolas Cage and Thomas Jane, explained that the app she uses is one that ‘kind of screens people.’

Still, she admitted to feeling ‘scared’ about online dating and joked, at times, that Wikipedia has thrown a wrench into her search for her next relationship.

Arquette went on to tell the host, 42, that her Wikipedia still said she was in a relationship with White, who she dated for nearly nine years between 2014 to 2023. 

‘Part of the problem for me is like, Wikipedia,’ she said of her challenges with online dating. ‘On there, I still have the same boyfriend I had a couple of years ago. And, I’ve been single for two years!’

The Boyhood star mused that some of her matches thought that she was ‘just running around town’ since she never publicly announced her split from White.

After hearing Arquette is looking for love, Clarkson turned to the cameras and said: ‘So we’re gonna get the word out now. She’s single and mingling!’

‘How is it on the apps?’ Clarkson asked. ‘Cause I’m single and I’m afraid.’ 

‘I go very, very, slowly. I also do check up with people that know that person. And I go very slowly,’ Arquette explained of her approach. 

The performer noted that she doesn’t mind talking to someone ‘for six months’ before ‘ever’ having coffee with them. 

‘I believe in going very slow!’ Arquette insisted. 

Back in 2022, Arquette spoke highly of her then-boyfriend, Eric, as she raved that they ‘laugh and play’ a lot.

The couple was first photographed together in 2014 while she was promoting her film Boyhood.

Over the years, Arquette has not been shy about talking about both her good and bad dating experiences. 

In 2021, she joined in on a popular Twitter prompt about bad dates to reveal that her date became an infamous murderer years later. 

The star initially shared what sounded like a run-of-the-mill bad date with a ‘pro skateboarder’ who turned out to be a bad kisser.

But, she later revealed that her disastrous second date was with former professional skateboarder Mark ‘Gator’ Rogowski, who would later confess to brutally raping and murdering his acquaintance Jessica Bergsten in 1991 when she was only 22 years old.

Patricia shared her horrifying date in response to the prompt: ‘What’s the most awkward date y’all ever been on?’ 

After hearing Arquette is looking for love, Clarkson turned to the cameras and said: ‘So we’re gonna get the word out now. She’s single and mingling!’

She specified that it was a ‘second date,’ writing, ‘Pro skateboarder. Really cute. Friends with my friends. 

‘We made out but something about how he kissed me freaked me out,’ she continued, adding that she ‘gave him a fake number’ at the conclusion of the date.

‘Years later he killed his girlfriend,’ she concluded starkly.

‘Moral to the story — Trust your instincts,’ she wrote in a follow-up tweet, before adding, ‘And my daughter thinks I’m overprotective.’ 

Arquette and White dated for nearly nine years between 2014 to 2023 (seen together in 2019)

Naturally, other users were fascinated by her eerie story and pressed her for more details, with one person guessing that she was referring to Rogowski.

‘Yes right,’ replied Arquette. ‘He raped and killed. His girl friend who was best friends with his x girlfriend.’

One user suggested that the influence of religion on Rogowski had led to his confession.

‘I think without religion it never would have been solved. He told his priest,’ the actress replied, though Rogowski’s eventual confession was instead to a born-again Christian friend.

Another person mentioned having a similarly bad experience with a scarily aggressive kisser.

Arquette wrote back: ‘Another guy was like that one other time he bot [sic] me hard while kissing and I started choking him and told him don’t ever f***ing do that to a woman again.’

The same person then queried her about how Rogowski kissed her before scaring her away, which she described as ‘aggressive.’

‘Like pushing me back hard with his jaw and it felt like it was angry,’ she clarified.

Taking a stand: She recalled fighting back at another date who bit her while kissing too hard

Rogowski is currently in prison on a 31-year to life sentence for raping and murdering Jessica Bergsten in 1991.

Bergsten was a good friend of his ex Brandi McClain, though the two aren’t thought to have been in a relationship, contrary to what Arquette said.

Rogowski was a popular skateboarder throughout the 1980s, but his career suffered as the 1990s rolled along due to his worsening addiction to alcohol and the sport’s diminishing commercial prospects.

After the athlete ended his relationship with McClain — whom he had subjected to domestic violence throughout their relationship — he began to threaten her and her boyfriend and even broke into her home when she was out.

In 1991, McClain’s friend Bergsten asked Rogowski to give her a tour of San Diego, after which she was reported missing.

The skater later confessed that he hit Bergsten in the back of the head with a metal car steering wheel lock and tied her to his bed before raping her.

He said he covered her mouth out of fear that the neighbors would hear her until she stopped breathing.

Afterward, he buried her body in the desert, where it was discovered in an advanced state of decay that initially made it impossible to identify.

Rogowski then confessed his crime to a born-again Christian friend, who urged him to confess to the police, which he did.

The convicted murderer initially faced the death penalty on a charge of murdering Bergsten while raping her, though he was eventually convicted of separate murder and rape charges.

He was sentenced to life in prison with the chance of parole after 31 years.
