Duchovny, who is married to actress Téa Leoni, has two children, daughter Madelaine West, 9, and son Kyd, 6.

I’m sad for him and his family. I hope they can make it through this difficult situation intact. It will take a lot of love, support and understanding from both David’s and Tea’s families.

I personally think hes just a cheater! He has played way too many charectors that were sex addicts.. so i think he knows how to fake it. Besides most men try to play that card when they are caught. What makes him diffrent. I just dont believe it! Sorry.
