David Duchovny, the 64-year-old actor famously known for The X-Files, has officially married his girlfriend Monique Pendleberry after nearly six years of dating. The couple quietly tied the knot following months of speculation fueled by sightings of wedding bands during a recent outing in Malibu on May 20.
Duchovny and Pendleberry began their relationship in 2017 and have kept their romance mostly private, only occasionally appearing in public together. Some of their rare joint appearances include a New York City outing in September 2024, attending a Los Angeles Lakers game earlier this year, and a red carpet event for Duchovny’s Netflix movie You People in 2023.
This is Duchovny’s second marriage. He was previously married to actress Téa Leoni from 1997 until their separation in 2014. The former couple, who briefly split in 2008, share two grown children — daughter West, 26, and son Kyd, 22. Despite their separation, Duchovny and Leoni have maintained a friendly relationship and continue to co-parent their children with mutual respect.
According to US Magazine, Téa Leoni once described Duchovny as a devoted father and partner in co-parenting, stating, “David gave me the two greatest gifts on the planet.” The amicable relationship between the exes reflects their shared commitment to their children’s well-being.

Duchovny himself has been candid about the challenges of balancing his acting career with fatherhood. In an interview with People in June 2024, he admitted feeling “inadequate” at times but emphasized his love for his children and the importance of modeling engagement with life beyond parenting.
“Maybe I was a good parent, because my kids are great people,” he said. “I’m sure I’ve made mistakes, but I love my kids so, so much.”
