X-Files Icon Reveals Surprise Wedding: Details Inside!

David Duchovny has recently confirmed his private wedding.

During his appearance on Today with Jenna & Friends where he was promoting his first poetry book About Time, the actor well-known for his role in The X-Files shared that he tied the knot with Monique Pendleberry earlier in the year. Their relationship first came into the public eye nearly ten years ago.

While discussing his personal life on the show, co-host Savannah Guthrie mentioned that the 65-year-old had gotten married recently. Duchovny acknowledged this by saying, “I did, in February. Thank you.”

The couple was first spotted together in 2017 in Vancouver, Canada, and have since maintained a private stance regarding their relationship. Duchovny humorously remarked that despite the poems in his new collection not being about his wife, he has been humorously dubbed a leading voice in romantic poetry. “I checked Amazon sales this morning, and it labeled me as the No. 1 love poet. It’s funny because it’s like I’m the only love poet left—I’m one of one,” he commented.

Duchovny has two children, West, aged 26, and Kyd, aged 23, with his former wife Téa Leoni.

This marriage marks a significant shift from his views back in May 2015, when he expressed to PEOPLE magazine that he had no intentions of marrying again. At that time, he felt that age was a significant factor, saying, “I don’t think I want to be married again. I just feel like I’m old!”

However, his recent sentiments about Pendleberry have clearly changed, as he joyfully shared, “We were so in love that we just ran off to Santa Barbara and got married at the courthouse there.”
