No matter how much fans of David Duchovny and Tea Leoni hoped, there will still be no happy ending in the love story of this couple - this weekend it became known that the actors officially divorced after 17 years of relationship. The collapse of their marriage had been predicted for a long time, but even despite all the problems, gossip and not very nice actions, David and Thea always forgave each other, supported and sincerely tried to be together - for the sake of their love and two children. This year they put an end to their romance by announcing an “irretrievable split in their relationship.” On this, albeit not at all joyful, occasion, HELLO.RU decided to remember the couple’s love story and trace how the relationship between the star of the series “The X-Files” and “Californication” and the actress of the films “The Family Man” and “Deep Impact” developed.
David Duchovny and Tea Leoni
The first meeting between Duchovny and Leoni took place in 1992, at the dawn of their careers. The actors were introduced to each other by the producer of the Tonight Show project during their audition. Then no romantic relationship arose between them. On the contrary, Duchovny experienced a completely opposite feeling for Leonie - hatred:
It was very inconvenient. She was simply amazing, funny, smart, graceful and charming. I hated her. I hated her for instantly leaving me in the shadows. I started to sulk. I didn't even know what to say. But I knew for sure that I could not surpass this level of charm. And of course, I was suspended from work, and she was taken on the show. From then on, whenever I heard her name, I thought, “She’s just a screamer.” At the time of their first meeting, the actor was 32 years old and had already earned fame as a ladies' man. By his own admission, from his youth it was difficult for him to be in a monogamous relationship - he preferred variety and could not find the one he could truly love. In 1992, 4 films with Duchovny’s participation were released, and he himself began filming a new film, “California.”

While everything was shaky and unsteady in Leonie’s career, the actress’s personal life was settled - in 1991 she married television producer Neil Joseph Tardio Jr., whom, however, she divorced in 1995.

A few years later, namely in 1997, David and Thea met again. Then Duchovny was in Vancouver, where new episodes of the series “The X-Files” were being filmed. One day his agent called him. During the conversation, he told the actor: By the way, in my office now there is one person whom you seem to know - Tea Leoni.
To this David responded not entirely politely:
Oh, that screamer. Is she still talking?
However, after the conversation, David caught the eye of a magazine, on the cover of which Thea was depicted. He immediately called the agent back and asked him: She looks stunning. Does she have anyone?
From that moment their joint story began. As Duchovny later admitted, it was Thea who became the one whom he was able to love and who managed to make him forget about other girls. True, as it turned out, for a while, but more on that a little later.

They spoke by phone for the first three weeks, as David was in Vancouver filming and Thea was in Los Angeles. Then, in one of the Malibu restaurants, they had their first date, after which they realized that they could no longer live without each other. David and Thea carefully hid their romance from the press and paparazzi, so the media learned about the actors’ wedding after the fact. Duchovny proposed marriage to Leoni two months after the first date, and she immediately answered “yes.” And how could it be otherwise - those around them said that they were madly in love with each other.

Their wedding was modest and secret. David finished filming the next episode in Vancouver and flew to New York to see Thea. It would seem that what is suspicious about this? Nothing, which is why the press “missed” their ceremony. Meanwhile, on the morning of May 6, 1997, the couple received a marriage license, and in the evening of the same day they got married in the small chapel of Grace Church School at the school where the actor studied.

David wore a beige suit from Armani that evening, and Thea wore a soft pink dress with a floral pattern from Lily et Cie. The celebration, which was attended only by close friends and relatives, then moved to the French restaurant Gascogne and took place in a quiet, informal atmosphere.
Things were even more modest with the couple’s honeymoon than with the wedding—David and Thea simply didn’t have it. Filming and work come first. But this did not affect the actors’ relationship in any way - they tried to spend all their free time together and gave the impression of a very friendly and loving couple. David's pessimistic statements in interviews such as “I feel abandoned and alone. “I’m absolutely miserable” changed to a rather optimistic “I’ve never been as happy as I am now.” The actor regularly sang praises in honor of his newly-made wife and almost none of his interviews were published without declarations of love.
Two years after the wedding, in 1999, the couple had their first child, daughter Madeleine West Duchovny, and in 2002, Kid Miller Duchovny's son was born.

They started talking about problems in the star family in 2008, when David began to be noticed in the company of other girls. Later it turned out that the actor suffers from sexaholism and his relationship with his wife is not enough for him. At the insistence of his wife, Duchovny went to a rehabilitation clinic because he was unable to cope with his addiction on his own. During this period, Leonie and her children left her husband back to New York.

Thea decided to forgive David and start over in January 2009. Then their friends said that it was too hasty a decision, but Duchovny assured everyone, including the public, that the treatment had benefited him, he felt great, and there was now “a lot of love” in their family.

Their relationship again became like that of newlyweds. David and Thea spent all their free time and holidays together. On walks they walked only holding hands. A wedding ring even appeared on Duchovny’s ring finger, although he had previously admitted that he did not like to wear it for fear of losing it. To prove his words, in honor of their 10th wedding anniversary, David even got a tattoo of the memorable date on his finger.

Everything changed again in the summer of 2011. Disagreements arose between the spouses again, rumors continued to arise in the press about new infidelities of the actor, so the couple decided to separate.
In June of this year, they were seen together on the beach in Malibu. The couple looked quite happy and enjoyed their time together. As it turned out later, already at that time they filed for divorce. A few days ago it became known that the marriage of David Duchovny and Tea Leoni was officially and finally dissolved. According to sources, the actor filed a lawsuit, citing an “irretrievable breakdown in the relationship.”

Under the terms of the divorce, David and Thea have joint custody of their two children, Madeline, 15, and Kid, 12. The children will continue to live with their mother on the Upper West Side in New York, and the father will pay them $8,333 a month, and will also cover all expenses for the children's college and summer camps. He will also pay $40,000 a month in support to his wife.
And let the marriage of Duchovny and Leonie end. David emphasizes that he and his ex-wife had a passionate and very honest love story.

David Duchovny is popular in our country for his role as special agent Fox Mulder in the TV series The X-Files. Then the successful actor, screenwriter, producer and writer became the star of the TV series Californication, where he played Hank Moody. Dreaming of literary laurels in his youth, Duchovny may not have expected that he would achieve such fame as a film actor. After all, he has Princeton and Yale universities and a master's degree in English literature behind him. Despite all his remarkable intellectual qualities, the actor is distinguished by an extraordinary desire for sexual adventure, and this turned out to be unacceptable for David Duchovny’s wife, Tea Leoni.
They met in 1992 during an audition and David was unhappy with how he looked compared to the talented and beautiful Thea. After this meeting, she managed to be married to producer Neil-Joseph Tardio Jr. and divorced, starred in several TV series and films. When she and David saw each other again, it turned out that they could no longer imagine life without each other. The wedding, which followed 9 weeks after the rapprochement in 2007, was modest and carefully hidden from prying eyes. Already in 1999, their first child, daughter Madeleine West, was born, and in 2002, son Kid Miller.
However, the well-being of this couple lasted only one year, despite David’s frequent revelations to journalists about complete happiness: his loving nature demanded variety. He eventually, again publicly, admitted to his hypersexuality after arguments with his wife. She and Thea almost broke up. For some time, the actor was helped to remain faithful by visiting a psychologist, who prevented divorce, but then the infidelities began to recur constantly - in the summer. Somebody lightly called them “summer exacerbation.”
Each spouse had a separate creative life. In addition to working on roles, David became interested in directing and writing. Thea starred in several films and received a Saturn Award for Best Actress in the drama The Family Man. Her husband's infidelities allowed the actress to commit several rash acts. In particular, this was a short-term relationship with actor Bob Thornton, but other cases followed.
Trying to save their family from disintegration, the Duchovny couple made an attempt to improve relations in 2009. This was announced to the intrusive press, and the couple spent all their free time together, devoting attention to their love and care for their children. Duchovny even began wearing a wedding ring, which he previously considered uncomfortable. They both got commemorative tattoos on their fingers in honor of their 10th anniversary of marriage. By 2011, everything was back to normal. David returned to his old ways and became interested in searching for new sexual pleasures. In 2014, the couple came to the decision to officially dissolve their marriage due to an “irretrievable breakdown in the relationship.” David received every right to live a free life. The children, placed under their common guardianship, remained with their mother, Lavid Duchovny’s ex-wife, actress Tea Leoni.
Until Thea had her breasts enlarged, David didn’t pay any attention to her. But then the wife’s artificial third size became a favorite reason for jokes. - If you squeeze this chest, it creaks! — Duchovny enthusiastically told reporters. - Very sexy.
Fun of the young
The best student of an elite New York college, who received a grant to study at the prestigious Princeton University for his sharp mind and extensive erudition, David Duchovny loved porn films. He picked up a whole stack of cassettes at the video rental store, locked himself in his room, made himself comfortable... Therefore, when he saw an advertisement for the recruitment of actors in “movies for adults,” he did not think twice.
Unlike many Hollywood movie stars, David was never ashamed of his pornographic past. If it weren’t for those “childish fun”, he would never have realized his true calling - acting. So he would have wandered around the world as a blue-green intellectual worker who defended his dissertation on the topic “Magic and Technology in Modern Poetry and Prose,” which he worked on before leaving university and seriously pursuing an acting career. Literature is still his delight, but only a pleasant leisure time when there is nothing else to do. What remained from the university was his remarkable intelligence and education, his nature turned out to be characterized by caustic humor and a great sexual appetite, and all this brought him fame as a “sex symbol for thinking women.”
Being “too smart” himself, he secretly believed that intelligence and character were not a woman’s business.
This definition really amused David Duchovny. Why only for “thinking” people? Probably because he is not that handsome and often skips workouts at the gym, so once he even asked to cut out his walk around the room with a bare butt from one film - his butt turned out to be so-so. But what are “thinking women” like? Being “too smart” himself, he secretly believed that intelligence and character were not a woman’s business. Women don't think. They feel and act, and all this has little to do with logic.
Somewhere out there, in the big world, the fame of “The X-Files” was growing (the series was shown in 60 countries for 9 seasons!), David Duchovny and his partner Gillian Anderson had armies of fanatics, and they were sitting in a godforsaken place, living in the hotel and worked hard like laborers. Out of boredom, David tried to woo Gillian, but she turned out to be a terrible bore and screamed about the trampled rights of women: for each episode she was paid ten times less than him. Jill considered this a good reason to refuse him, and began an affair with the assistant director. After the third season, she married him and gave birth to a child, putting the series in jeopardy, and a year later she divorced. So David considered himself avenged.
Here they are - thinking women and the results of their “thoughts”.
He couldn’t understand why he couldn’t take his eyes off her, then he realized: during the time they didn’t see each other, Thea had enlarged her breasts.
By the end of the fifth season, he was simply hanging himself in the Canadian wilderness and every vacation to the “mainland” he walked like a sailor who had come ashore. On one of these short visits to Los Angeles, he met Tea Leoni again. And this is what the province does to a person - he rejoiced at it! I couldn’t understand what had happened, why he couldn’t take his eyes off her, then I realized: during the time they didn’t see each other, Thea had enlarged her breasts. And literally came out of the darkness! The seductive cleavage outweighed everything - even her sharp tongue. Or rather, David really liked him now.
During this time, Thea not only blossomed, but also became very famous. Despite her beauty and slenderness, she played in sitcoms, was not afraid to seem funny, did not take herself too seriously and had a terrible laugh, which also greatly impressed David.
She had already managed to “run away” to get married and was now in search of a new partner. Fascinated by her wit, David could not remember what had irritated him so much about this luxurious woman before? They spent a delightful weekend playing golf on the emerald course, and then he flew to Vancouver. And on the very first evening I realized that I wouldn’t be able to breathe if I didn’t hear her voice right away.
They began a real telephone romance. David never thought that a man could also love with his ears... “If filming is not moved to the USA, I’m leaving the series,” he told the producers. They tried to put the “presumptuous” artist in his place, but with their own hands they let the genie out of the bottle: Duchovny was now so famous that removing him from the “X-Files” was tantamount to closing the series.
Three weeks after he returned to Los Angeles, he and Thea got married.
Ray Wise
69 years old
Another character from the series' classic cast who will appear in the new season is Laura Palmer's father, played by Ray Wise. The actor has made a stable career in popular TV series. He played in Beverly Hills, 90210, The Mentalist, Criminal Minds, Mad Men, Psych, How I Met Your Mother. And this summer the actor has a double holiday - he celebrates his 70th birthday and his return to Lynch’s cult series.
love boat
They lived, laughing, chatting and interrupting each other - communication gave them such pleasure. Thea had a full sense of humor - a rare and valuable gift that could brighten up any life. David admitted that he could tell his wife anything and not be afraid of tears, reproaches, accusations, an explosion of indignation or despair. She could only laugh at him, but David even supported this. Of all his women, only Thea knew, for example, that Duchovny could not see at all in his left eye - the result of a sports injury in childhood. And that he can knit. And she told him that in fact her name was Elizabeth Taia Pantaleoni, in Italian her surname means “pants”, and her grandmother was the founder of the UNICEF charity foundation. And he said that he once saw the ghost of his dead grandfather. And also that he loves to paint “in the style of Andy Warhol,” that is, to smear his imperfect buttocks with paint and sit on the canvas. Thea laughed terribly when he told this, and volunteered to help him “apply paints to the palette.”
But even a sense of humor could not save their union when evidence of David's infidelity emerged.
They were never bored together and had no need to hide anything. Even when fashion model Mandy Komlozi published details of her long-standing meetings with David, Thea was not surprised, but read aloud:
“David loved to make a sacred ritual out of love. He placed scented candles around the bed, turned on jazz music, and doused the sheets with an intoxicating-smelling oil. We made love all night - in bed, on the floor, on the balcony. In the morning he read me poems of his own composition. This is the best lover I’ve ever known—fierce, tireless, devoid of complexes…” and turned to her husband. “I completely agree with her, dear.”
But even a sense of humor could not save their union when evidence of David's infidelity emerged. He made excuses by saying that everyday life was boring. In 1999, they had a daughter, four years later - a son, worries overcame them, she and Tea moved away from each other. They rarely saw each other because of work, and when they finally got together, they were completely occupied with their children. “And why did we decide to have a second child, what were we missing? - Duchovny joked to reporters. “One daughter would be enough, she is a pure angel, but the son is a real tomboy.” At nine months, he decided to become Spider-Man, while his daughter became Cinderella. - Do you feel the difference?
Answering children's questions, reacting to whims, spanking and kissing, they began to perceive each other as “mommy and daddy” and forgot that they once lit up at just one glance. What a glance - the sound of a voice!
“You can’t wait,” David told reporters. “A marriage built on intelligence, humor and sex is unsinkable.”
And then Thea began to complain about her breast implants: they began to cause her discomfort, pull and get in the way. She decided to make her breasts smaller, which David opposed. But modern women are their own bosses - she reduced it. Perhaps this was the last straw, or maybe he really “fell ill”, as he later swore - he began to cheat on her. When this came to the surface, Duchovny announced that he had sex addiction, for which every self-respecting Hollywood man had already been treated, and checked himself into a clinic. Offended, Thea began an affair with Billy Bob Thornton. David pretended to take this revenge for granted...
They celebrated the next anniversary of their marriage together and even got tattoos in the form of rings - as a sign that their union is indestructible. “You can’t wait,” David told reporters. “A marriage built on intelligence, humor and sex is unsinkable.”
In 2012, David Duchovny and Tea Leoni divorced.

She cannot be called a super-successful actress: she has participated in some twenty projects. But Tea Leoni’s personal life has long been the subject of heated discussions, because her husband, a famous artist, is a sex addict.
Biography of Tea Leoni
Italian-Polish roots
The actress prefers her middle name and took part of her surname as a pseudonym - in fact, her name is long and magnificent: Elizabeth Tea Pantaleoni. She was born on February 25, 1966 in New York. The actress’s father, Anthony, has Italian roots, although on his mother’s side he is Polish (his grandfather is Joseph Adamowski, his grandmother is Antonina Szumowska, both musicians). Thea's mother, Emily Patterson, is from Texas. The parents had nothing to do with creativity: a lawyer and a nutritionist, although the grandmother, Helenka Panteleoni, played on stage.
Tea Leoni's biography continued at Sarah Lawrence College, which she entered in 1984. However, the girl quickly became bored with psychology and anthropology, and she dropped out of college. Thea decided to visit the homeland of her paternal grandfather - Italy and visit Japan - she even lived in Tokyo for some time.
Almost became "Charlie's Angel"
Returning to her homeland in 1986, Leoni went to casting for the TV series “Charlie’s Angels” (she loved it in her youth, and a reboot of the show was just being planned). The tests were successful, but filming of the series was canceled - as you know, it was later “reborn” in the form of a full-length duology with Diaz, Liu and Barrymore.
However, Thea did not think of backing down - she liked the new profession, and she managed to get on the set of the popular “soap opera” Santa Barbara. She had a guest role - Lisa DiNapoli.
An episode in the fantasy comedy about “transmigration of souls” with Ellen Barkin “Changeling”, small roles in the sports drama “A League of Their Own” (in which, by the way, Madonna and Geena Davis played) and the western “Wyatt Earl” - it was not bad for a debutante.
Childhood and youth
David Duchovny was born in New York on August 7, 1960 into a low-income family. According to his zodiac sign, the future actor turned out to be Leo. Margaret Duchovny, the mother of the future celebrity, was Scottish and worked as a school teacher. Amram Duchovny, David's father, is a publicist. He wrote several books, including an autobiographical novel. It is known that David's parents divorced 11 years after his birth.
By nature, David was withdrawn and uncommunicative in his childhood, but the young man’s extraordinary mind opened the way for him to a prestigious school in New York. At this educational institution, Duchovny studied with John Kennedy Jr., who died in a plane crash in July 1999.
David Duchovny in his youth
After graduating from school, David Duchovny entered Princeton University to study pedagogy. The student earned money for his studies at the university on his own, working as a watchman, bartender or food delivery man. David later received a master's degree in English literature from Yale University and was going to defend his dissertation for a Ph.D. However, some events in his life forced the actor to change this decision.
While working on his dissertation, the young man enrolled in acting courses, as a result of which theatrical acting became a kind of hobby, which later influenced the creative biography of David Duchovny.
The only witness is in danger!
But fame came to Leoni after starring in the Michael Bay action film Bad Boys. The main male roles - dark-skinned detective friends - were played by Martin Lawrence (modest Marcus) and Will Smith (womanizer Mike), but the central female role - a witness to the crime, the beautiful Julie, who must be protected from thugs - was created by 29-year-old Tea Leoni.
Comedy, fantasy, melodrama
The actress’s next film works were not as expressive - who now remembers the comedy with Stiller “Don’t Wake a Sleeping Dog” (even taking into account that it was directed by the then young director David O. Russell). And the science fiction film “Deep Impact” pales in comparison with modern stunning blockbusters.
In 1995, the comedy series “The Naked Truth” was launched, in which Leoni was given the main role. She portrayed the sneaky journalist Nora Wilde. The show ran for three seasons.
The fantasy melodrama “The Family Man” was about a man (Nicolas Cage) who doesn’t care about those around him – for him there is only business and his company. Once upon a time, Jack abandoned Kate, the girl who loved him. But at Christmas he will have the opportunity to “replay life” in a different scenario, in which Kate, children, and pets will be present. For her role as Kate, Tea Leoni was awarded the Saturn Award (for Best Actress), awarded to science fiction films.
“Promoted” to Secretary of State
In 2001, the animated dinosaurs (as well as a paleontologist played by Sam Neill) returned in the film Jurassic Park III, joined by a new heroine, Amanda Kirby (Tea Leoni).
In addition, in the 2000s, the actress took part in the melodrama “Spanish-English” and, together with Jim Carrey, in the comedy “Scammers Dick and Jane” (a remake of an old movie). She starred in Woody Allen's film Hollywood Ending and was admired by the writer and director.
In 2014, a new leading role appeared in Tea Leoni’s creative biography – Elizabeth McCord in the television series “Secretary of State”. This is a drama about a female politician that evokes mixed feelings: the scriptwriters did not do without “excesses,” although Leoni plays well (some claim that the image of McCord is “based” on Hilary Clinton).
Sheryl Lee
50 years
Actress Sheryl Lee, who 20 years ago played the murdered Laura Palmer and then her cousin, became a star immediately after the show aired. But after the finale, the actress did not have any high-profile roles, although it is worth noting her work in the drama “Five of Four” - about the beginning of The Beatles, where Cheryl played the photographer and stylist Astrid Kirchherr, who came up with the signature haircuts for guys.
Personal life of Tea Leoni
A whirlwind romance
Thea's four-year marriage to Neil Joseph Tardio Jr. was childless and lasted until 1995. And then Tea Leoni’s personal life took a very sharp turn - she fell passionately in love with a colleague, the not very famous actor David Duchovny.
They first met at auditions, but did not impress each other. Later, both began to use the services of the same agent, and then the real romance between Thea and David began. They chatted on the phone for a long time, delaying the date. But then they quickly got married - and not even six months had passed. The wedding took place in 1997.
Sweet Dreams…
Thea was delighted with her husband: “He is a unique personality, the most exciting man in my life!” Indeed, at first this union was flawless. Children were born one after another: in April 1999 - Madelaine West, in June 2002 - Kid Miller.
...and a rude awakening
But gradually her husband’s secret passion was revealed - apparently, it was not without reason that he took part in the filming of the erotic series “The Red Shoe Diaries” and became a “professional” womanizer Hank Moody in the show “Californication.” Tea Leoni's personal life has gone to hell: her beloved husband is a sexaholic, ready to have a relationship with the first person he meets. The husband and wife separated for a while, and in 2008, Duchovny went to a rehabilitation center to be treated for addiction. Thea decided to take revenge on the traitor and became the mistress of Billy Bob Thornton. In 2011, the marriage was hanging on the edge of the abyss, but then everything seemed to get better. However, what was broken, alas, did not mend, and Leonie’s family life ended in divorce.
David Duchovny will turn anyone's head! All thanks to his attractiveness, intelligence and extraordinary mind. Will it be easy for you to seduce an actor? What does this handsome guy like, where can I find him, what can I talk about? We are preparing to meet Woman’s Day.

Favorite women
David Duchovny with his ex-wife Tea Leoni
David Duchovny’s stunning fame was brought not only by the series “The X-Files,” but also by his excessive love of love. Both the actor himself and his lovers suffered from this.
The heartthrob's first girlfriend was Maggie Jacobson
. This is the same scary Janice, Chandler's girlfriend from the TV series "Friends". Jacobson constantly accused David of avoiding commitments, and they soon broke up. By the way, the girl did him a great favor by ironically inviting her unfaithful boyfriend to play in the film “New Year’s Day.” This role helped Duchovny become noticeable.
The great and passionate love that fairy tales are about struck David only at the age of 37. So much so that the actor decided to get married! At a party with friends, he met actress Teo Leoni
. After two months of telephone friendship, he proposed to her. The couple had a daughter, Madeleine West, and a son, Kid Miller.
Throughout their relationship, Duchovny and Leoni either converged or diverged. The cause of quarrels and disagreements was David's infidelity. The actor changed lovers at the speed of a sprinter. Jennifer Beals was in bed with him
,
Sheryl Lee
,
Perrie Reeves
,
Winona Ryder
.
And also unknown models, flight attendants, saleswomen. Gillian Anderson
remains in question : both unanimously deny it.
In 2008, David decided to undergo treatment for sex addiction for the sake of his marriage. For some time he really was an exemplary husband and family man. But the actor lasted for two years, and then everything started again... In 2011, David and Thea separated, and in August 2014 they decided to dot the i's and get a divorce after 17 years of marriage.
The initiator of the break was David, who explained his decision by saying that his relationship with Thea had no future. Duchovny was ordered to pay alimony in the amount of over 8 thousand dollars a month. In addition, he must pay for the children's summer camp and tuition at a private school or college. As a result, he accumulates 40 thousand dollars a month.
But now David can have affairs with blondes, brunettes, actresses and ordinary girls without a twinge of conscience. David has no particular preferences. The main thing is that the girl is hooked by something!
Joan Chen
56 years old
The role of “the most beautiful woman in the state” made Chinese actress Joan Chen famous, and in 1992 People magazine included the actress in the list of “50 Most Beautiful Women in the World.” But after the finale of Twin Peaks, Joan did not get the main roles. Today the actress is a little over 50, and Joan refused David Lynch’s offer to star in the continuation of the series. According to her, everyone remembers how young and beautiful her heroine was, and she would not want to spoil the impression.
