Back when David Duchovny starred on countless seasons of 'The X-Files,' he was married to fellow Hollywood veteran Téa Leoni. But in 2014, the two split, sharing custody of their two kids.
But David Duchovny's been in the spotlight since, with various projects apart from portraying Agent Mulder. Although, he did entertain a revival in recent years. Still, it hasn't been smooth sailing for Duchovny since 'X-Files.'
In terms of his personal life, there was his divorce. But before that, there were rumors of an affair and a stint in a sex rehab facility.
More recently, David starred in 'Californication,' which eerily echoed some themes in the actor's own life.
But the now 60-year-old star has been busy in both his personal and professional life. In fact, according to Daily Mail, David has been with his current girlfriend for at least three years.
In August of 2018, the publication reported that David Duchovny, then 58, and 25-year-old Monique Pendleberry were spotted getting cozy on a Malibu beach.
But by then, the duo had already been together for at least 14 months. If fans haven't yet done the math, David Duchovny is 33 years older than his girlfriend. Monique Pendleberry is closer in age to David's kids, who were 16 and 19 when their dad was frolicking on the beach in Malibu.
Of course, David Duchovny isn't the only '90s star to flaunt a relationship with a much-younger woman. In fact, Brad Pitt's been doing so since the '90s. There's also Hollywood playboy Leonardo DiCaprio and his 23-years-younger girlfriend Camila Morrone...
Clearly, Duchovny's in good company with other Hollywood men, but fans want to know whether his girlfriend is with him for his fame or not.
There's something to be said for the couple's longevity, of course. Three plus years is a long time in Hollywood, though fans might infer that Monique is after more than just love.
According to Daily Mail, when she and Duchovny met, Monique was working at SunLife Organics Juicery. While she had a job, one could argue that dating Duchovny may have been a step up from working at a juice bar.
Monique is also a graduate of UC Irvine and used to play soccer, noted Daily Mail. Multiple sources also commented on the super cheeky bikini Pendleberry wore while on the beach with her beau. But fans suspect those journalists might just be jealous.
By all appearances, Monique and David seem very happy together, and the fact that they largely stay out of the tabloids has got to be a good sign for their relationship.
