David Duchovny, who checked out of a rehabilitation center for sex
addiction earlier this month, has been separated from wife Tea Leoni
for several months, People magazine reported.

"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 statement, released by
their reps, says. "The couple had hoped to keep this separation
private for the sake of their children."

According to a report in the U.K.'s Daily Mail, the reason for the
separation had little to do with Duchovny's addiction, and was instead
the result of his discovery that Leoni was having a relationship with
Oscar-winning actor Billy Bob Thornton, 53.

Duchovny reportedly uncovered explicit text messages on Leoni's cell
phone from Thornton, who was previously married to actress Angelina Jolie.

Five-times married Thornton met Leoni when they made a comedy film
together earlier this year called Manure, the Mail said.

Duchonvny and Leoni have two children — daughter Madelaine West, 9,
and son Kyd, 6 . The couple married in 1997.
