Plot twist alert, Mulder fans! David Duchovny, aka everyone’s favorite alien-chasing, trench coat-wearing heartthrob from The X-Files, is officially off the market. That’s right — the 64-year-old silver fox just put a ring on it. Cue dramatic X-Files music 🎶
On Tuesday night (May 21), Us Weekly dropped the tea that David tied the knot with his longtime boo, Monique Pendleberry, age 31, which means she’s young enough to know what TikTok is but mature enough to survive six years of dating a Hollywood legend. Now that’s talent.
The secret nuptials were basically confirmed after the couple was caught by paparazzi rocking matching rings in Malibu, because nothing screams “we totally got married in secret” like coordinated finger bling. We see you, lovebirds!
Now get this — their love story began in the most LA way imaginable: a juice bar. Yep. In 2017, David wandered into SunLife Organics (probably for a $12 green elixir of immortality), and instead of walking out with just a smoothie, he left with a potential soulmate. Monique was working there, and the owner just happened to be David’s friend. We’re not saying it was fate… but the spirulina stars definitely aligned.
If you’re thinking, “Wait, wasn’t he married before?” You’re right! David was previously hitched to Téa Leoni from 1997 to 2014. They were Hollywood royalty for a while and share two kids: Madelaine West (26) and Kyd Miller (22), which sounds like the name of a boy band member and an indie film character, respectively.
Anyway, huge congrats to the newlyweds! May your love be as eternal as David’s jawline and as refreshing as an overpriced Malibu acai bowl.
The truth is out there… and apparently, it’s that love wins. 🛸💍🥤
