"X-Files" star David Duchovny has split from his wife of 11 years, actress Tea Leoni, because of her relationship with Billy Bob Thornton according to reports. Duchovny, who has just come out of rehab after being treated for sex addiction, found text messages from Thornton on his wife's cell phone that were more than friendly. Leoni and Duchovny have two children together and were married in 1997, but it seems working with Thornton on a film called "Manure" has turned Leoni's head. Thornton, of course, enjoyed a 3 year marriage to Angelina Jolie which was well documented due to their bizarre behavior, such as wearing lockets containing a single drop of each other's blood (although not quite a vial).
Leoni's spokeswoman confirmed the couple had split and that Leoni is now living with their children in New York. In an interview with a magazine, Leoni had this to say about working on "Manure": "We have this incredible cast, with Billy Bob Thornton, who is maybe my new favorite person in the world".
Somewhat ironically, Duchovny is enjoying success playing a role in "Californication", about a troubled writer who is obsessed about sex. Billy Bob Thornton has been married 5 times in his 53 years of life and also has 4 biological children. He has stated he wouldn't get married for a 6th times as marriage "doesn't work for him".
