Marriage to Téa Leoni

Duchovny married actress Téa Leoni in 1997. The couple has two children together. In 2008, Duchovny publicly disclosed that he had entered rehabilitation for treatment related to sex addiction. While some media outlets suggested that his condition contributed to the couple’s separation, Duchovny and Leoni remained largely private about the reasons for their marital issues.

Rehabilitation and Reconciliation Attempts

Following his time in rehab, speculation arose around the status of Duchovny and Leoni’s relationship. Rob Weiss, a counselor associated with the treatment center, commented that their separation could indicate lingering relationship challenges or unresolved personal issues. After initially filing for legal separation, both Duchovny and Leoni retracted their filings in late 2008 and were seen reconciling for a brief period. However, by 2011, they had confirmed a new separation and subsequently sold their shared home, moving to different residences.

Relationship with Gillian Anderson

Rumors of a romantic relationship between David Duchovny and his former co-star Gillian Anderson began circulating after their onscreen chemistry in The X-Files reignited public interest. Although they had worked together for many years, there was no public indication of a personal relationship during the filming of the series. Speculation increased when the pair were reportedly seen swimming together at Duchovny’s residence, and Anderson humorously referenced the rumors in an interview, suggesting they were living together – though it was unclear whether this was a joke or a confirmation.

Public Reception and Social Media Activity

Duchovny joined Twitter in 2014, and his early activity on the platform included several mentions of Anderson, adding further fuel to speculation about their relationship. In one tweet, he jokingly questioned why she had kept her Twitter account a secret from him. Although these interactions hinted at closeness, neither party has officially confirmed a romantic relationship.

Ongoing Relationship Status with Téa Leoni

While Duchovny and Leoni remain legally married, they have lived separately since their 2011 separation. Neither has publicly hinted at plans for reconciliation or divorce. They have not been seen together in recent years, and it is generally assumed that their children reside primarily with Leoni. Despite public curiosity, the couple has maintained their privacy regarding the state of their relationship and co-parenting arrangement.
