David Duchovny separated from wife

David Duchovny and Tea Leoni have been "separated for several months", amid claims the actress received explicit text messages from Billy Bob Thornton.

'The X-Files' star David - who recently completed a stint in rehab for sex addiction - is said to have decided to end the 11-year marriage after discovering the raunchy messages on Tea's phone.

David and Tea - who have two children, nine-year-old Madelaine West and six-year-old Kyd - released a statement confirming their split yesterday (15.10.08).

The statement read: "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. The couple had hoped to keep this separation private for the sake of their children."

Tea and Billy - who met while shooting new comedy movie 'Manure' earlier this year - are now rumoured to be romantically involved.

A source close to Tea, 42, and 53-year-old Billy, who is a musician in his own band, told website MailOnline: "Tea even helps Billy load and unload his truck."

Ironic Role Reversal

They displayed a united front while he was away being treated for sex addiction, but now it has been announced that David and wife Téa Leoni have been separated for “some time now.” I guess David can quit the sex-addict rehab clinic that Téa sent him to.

David Duchovny is leaving Téa Leoni over an impropriety? Wasn't he just found out cheating recently? She did forgive him didn't she? Because the couple now announce they are splitting over for all reasons... David found Téa was in a text message relationship with fellow actor Billy Bob Thorton.

Has anyone tipped Téa off that Billy Bob claimed years ago to Angelina Jolie (his ex-wife) he had the same affliction as a sex-addict? Or maybe Billy Bob was just giving Téa advice on how to cope with a sex addict? Do you think she tried that line with David? Any way you look at it Téa's screwed.

“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,” a statement reads. “The couple had hoped to keep this separation private for the sake of their children.”

Tea Leoni cancelled public appearances to support David Duchovny in rehab

Tea Leoni has cancelled a series of public appearances to be by husband David Duchovny's side while he's in rehab.

The X Files star, 48, checked into a US clinic for sex addiction last week.

Tea, 42, has pulled out of a planned appearance Toronto Film Festival where she was due to promote new movie Ghost Town.

The couple have 2 children: Madelaine West, 9, and Kyd Miller, 6.
