As NowPublic reported yesterday, David Duchovny and Tea Léoni have been separated for several months.

But despite suggestions that Duchovny's recent treatment for sex addiction was the probable cause of the couple's split, it turns out the real reason may have been an "illicit affair" between Léoni and actor Billy Bob Thornton.

Sex addict David Duchovny and his actress wife Téa Leoni have split up - but not for the reasons one might think.

It was not his 'sexual compulsion proclivity' that caused the break-down of their marriage, but rather his discovery of explicit text messages on her mobile phone sent by actor Billy Bob Thornton.

Through the texts Duchovny found out she had begun a relationship with Oscar-winning actor Billy Bob Thornton, 53, who was formerly married to Angelina Jolie.
