The truth is out there – “X-Files” star David Duchovny and his wife are splitsville.
Duchovny – who just completed treatment for sex addiction – and Tea Leoni, his wife of 11 years, yesterday acknowledged that they are separated.
“In light of continuous speculation over the lives and marriage of Tea Leoni and David Duchovny, the couple has confirmed that they have, in fact, been separated for several months,” said a statement released by their publicists to People magazine.
“The couple had hoped to keep this separation private for the sake of their children.”
Duchovny, 48, who has earned a Golden Globe for his role as a womanizing novelist on the Showtime series “Californication,” left a rehab center for sex addiction after successfully completing a program last week, his lawyer said.
Leoni, 42, currently starring in the comedy “Ghost Town,” and Duchovny, married in May 1997 and have a 9-year-old daughter and a 6-year-old son.
He rose to fame in the 1990s on the success of the Fox sci-fi series “The X-Files,” in which he co-starred with Gillian Anderson.
The second movie based on the show, “X-Files: I Want to Believe,” bombed at the box office this past summer.
