The truth is out there about David Duchovny\u2019s secret marriage.<\/p>\n
While appearing on Today with Jenna & Friends<\/em> to discuss his debut poetry collection About Time<\/em>, the former star of The X-Files<\/em> confirmed he married Monique Pendleberry earlier this year, almost a decade after their romance became public.<\/p>\n Show co-host Savannah Guthrie said on air that the 65-year-old actor had recently married, to which he responded, \u201cI did, in February. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n The relationship was made public in 2017 after the two were seen together in Vancouver, Canada, but they have largely kept their relationship behind closed doors and away from the press. He said that none of the poems in his new book are specifically directed at his wife, but joked about his expert status in terms of love.<\/p>\n \u201cI was checking the Amazon sales on the way here this morning and it said I was [the] No. 1 love poet,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s just such a joke because there\u2019s no other love poet out there. I\u2019m one of one.\u201d<\/p>\n Duchovny shares two kids, the 26-year-old West and the 23-year-old Kyd, with his ex-wife T\u00e9a Leoni. <\/p>\n The new relationship is a stark change from his stance in May 2015, when he told PEOPLE<\/a> he would never marry again.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think I want to be married again,\u201d he said back then. \u201cI just feel like I\u2019m old!\u201d<\/p>\n
