Actor David Duchovny, who recently sought treatment for sex addiction, has separated from Tea Leoni - his wife of 11 years and mother of their two children.
According to People magazine, the former X-Files star and Leoni separated some time ago.
"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.
"The couple had hoped to keep this separation private for the sake of their children."
Duchovny, who plays a womanising novelist on the US television series Californication, last week left a rehabilitation centre for sex addiction after successfully completing a program, his attorney said.
Duchovny and Leoni married in May 1997 and have a nine-year-old daughter and a six-year-old son.
It was a second marriage for Leoni and a first for Duchovny.
