David Duchovny and Tea Leoni have finalized their divorce, bringing to an end the Hollywood couple’s off-again, on-again relationship.
David Duchovny and Tea Leoni divorce after 17 years
The couple, who have two children, have been married since 1997 but separated in 2008 with Duchovny entering rehab for alleged sex addiction.
The pair got back together but split again in 2011. Following the break-up Duchovny was linked with X-files co-star Gillian Anderson who has admitted to same-sex relationships but had just split from long-time partner Mark Griffiths at the time. Duchovny denied the two were an item.
According to TMZ , Californication star Duchovny filed divorce papers citing an irretrievable breakdown of the relationship.
Under the terms of the separation they will share joint custody of their children — aged 15 and 12 — although Leoni, whose last acting role was in the 2011 Brett Ratner comedy Tower Heist, has primary physical custody.
TMZ reported that Duchovny would be over $8,000 a month in child support and a further $40,000 a month in spousal support.
