Patricia Arquette revealed she's looking for love online after quietly ending her long-term relationship with Eric White

Patricia Arquette revealed she is looking for love online after quietly ending her long-term 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 uses dating apps.

When Clarkson asked if she’s “afraid” of meeting her partners, the Oscar winner, who was previously married to Nicolas Cage and Thomas Jane, explained that the app she uses is one that “filters people.”

Still, she admitted to feeling “scared” about online dating and sometimes joked that Wikipedia has hindered 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, whom she dated for nearly nine years between 2014 and 2023.

“Part of the problem for me is like Wikipedia,” he said of his challenges with online dating. ‘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 reflected that some of her matches thought she was “just running around town” since she never publicly announced her split from White.

After hearing that Arquette is looking for love, Clarkson turned to the cameras and said, “So let’s spread the word now.” She’s single and socialized!

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

‘I’m going very, very, slowly. I also consult with people who know that person. And I go very slowly,’ Arquette explained of his approach.

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

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

In 2022, Arquette spoke highly of her then-boyfriend, Eric, praising 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 hasn’t been shy about talking about her good and bad dating experiences.

In 2021, she joined a popular bad dating Twitter thread to reveal that her date became an infamous killer years later.

The star initially shared what seemed like a run-of-the-mill bad date with a ‘pro skater’ 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 just 22.

Patricia shared her horrible date in response to the question, ‘What’s the most awkward date you’ve ever been on?’

She specified that it was a “second date” and wrote: “Professional skater.” Really cute. Friends with my friends.

“We kissed, but something about how he kissed me scared me,” he continued, adding that he “gave her a fake number” at the end of the date.

“Years later he killed his girlfriend,” he concluded bluntly.

“Moral of the story: Trust your instincts,” she wrote in a follow-up tweet, before adding, “And my daughter thinks I’m overprotective.”

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

“Yeah, sure,” Arquette responded. ‘He raped and killed. His girlfriend who was his x girlfriend’s best friend.

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

‘I think without religion this would never have been resolved. “He told his priest,” the actress responded, although Rogowski’s eventual confession was to a born-again Christian friend.

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

Arquette responded: “Another guy was like that again, he hit me hard while he was kissing me and I started choking him and I told him to never do that to a woman again.”

The same person then asked her how Rogowski kissed her before scaring her, which she called “aggressive.”

“He kind of pushed me back hard with his jaw and I felt like he was angry,” he clarified.

Rogowski is currently in prison serving a sentence of 31 years to life in prison for raping and murdering Jessica Bergsten in 1991.

Bergsten was good friends with his ex Brandi McClain, although the two are not believed to have had a relationship, contrary to what Arquette said.

Rogowski was a popular skater during the 1980s, but his career suffered as the 1990s progressed due to his worsening alcohol addiction and the sport’s declining commercial prospects.

After the athlete ended his relationship with McClain, whom he had subjected to domestic violence throughout their relationship, he began threatening her and her boyfriend and even broke into her house when she was away.

In 1991, McClain’s friend Bergsten asked Rogowski to take her around 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 padlock on a car steering wheel and tied her to his bed before raping her.

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

He later buried his body in the desert, where it was discovered in an advanced state of decomposition that initially made identification impossible.

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 the charge of murdering Bergsten while raping her, although he was eventually found guilty of separate charges of murder and rape.

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