David Duchovny is finally back on TV screens in the Prime Video psychological thriller Malice, alongside Jack Whitehall and Carice van Houten. David is best known for his roles as FBI agent Fox Mulder in The X-Files and writer Hank Moody in Californication, both of which earned him Golden Globe awards. In Malice he plays the rich and ruthless businessman Jamie Tanner, who finds himself the victim of the disquieting manny he hired for a friend's children (played by British comedian Jack.)
Off-screen, David, 65, also plays the role of husband and father, after tying the knot with his longtime partner Monique Pendleberry in February 2025. He confirmed the news months later during an appearance on Today With Jenna and Friends, after host Savannah Guthrie congratulated him. "I did, in February. Thank you," he responded.

David was previously married to actress Tea Leoni, with the pair saying "I do" in 1997, and going on to welcome two children, daughter Madalaine, 26, and 23-year-old son Syd.
In 2008, they split, with the actor receiving treatment for sex addiction from August to October. David and Tea reunited in 2011 but filed for divorce and finalized the terms in 2014.

In 2017, David met his now-wife, Monique, who was 24 and working at SunLife Organics juicery in Malibu, which was owned by David's friend Khalil Rafati.
The pair reportedly remained friends for months, although Monique's uncle told Radar Online that David had been introduced to the family, but love blossomed.
The pair kept their romance largely out of the public spotlight, only making their red carpet debut in 2023.
