David Duchovny's Surprise Wedding Announcement

David Duchovny has taken the world by surprise with the confirmation of his marriage to longtime girlfriend, Monique Pendleberry. The 65-year-old actor and writer revealed the exciting news during his appearance on "Today with Jenna & Friends" on September 3. When guest co-host Savannah Guthrie casually mentioned his marital status, Duchovny responded with a smile, "I did, in February. Thank you." This revelation marks a new chapter for the couple, who have been quietly nurturing their relationship since 2017.

“I did, in February. Thank you,” Duchovny confirmed when congratulated on his marriage.

Keeping Love Under Wraps

The couple's decision to keep their engagement and wedding a secret is no surprise to those who have followed their journey. Duchovny and Pendleberry have maintained a low profile, rarely making public appearances together. However, they have been spotted at a few notable events, including stepping out in New York City in September 2024 and attending a Lakers game in January 2024. They also graced the red carpet together at the premiere of Duchovny's Netflix movie "You People" and the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival.

A Look Back at Duchovny's Romantic History

Before finding love with Pendleberry, Duchovny was married to actress Téa Leoni from 1997 to 2014. The former couple shares two children, West and Kyd. Despite their separation in 2008, Duchovny has always spoken fondly of his previous marriage. In a 2015 interview with PEOPLE, he expressed no regrets, saying, “My marriage and my family is one of the happiest parts of the history of my life.” Leoni has since moved on, marrying her "Madame Secretary" co-star Tim Daly in an intimate ceremony earlier this year.

Duchovny's marriage to Pendleberry shows that love can indeed strike at any age, even for those who once thought they would never walk down the aisle again. For fans of "The X Files" star, this unexpected twist in his personal life is both a delightful surprise and a reminder that life's script is always full of surprises.
