David Duchovny and Tea Leoni

The couple has been separated for a while now

It appears David Duchovny's love life off screen is also going through some trouble.

The "Californication" star and his wife, actress Tea Leoni, have confirmed speculation that they've been separated for some time, report celebrity news sources.

"In light of continuous speculation over the lives and marriage of Tea Leoni and David Duchovny, the couple has confirmed that they have in fact been separated for several months," the statement released Wednesday says. "The couple had hoped to keep this separation private for the sake of their children."

The couple has been married since 1997. They have two children: daughter Madelaine, 9, and son Kyd, 6.

Duchovny, 48, voluntarily entered a rehab facility in August to be treated for sex addiction. He has since been released for successfully finishing treatment.

On Showtime's "Californication," Duchovny plays the troubled Hank Moody, a role for which he won a Golden Globe.
