Where there's smoke, there's usually fire.

Hot on the heels of David Duchovny's revelation that he required treatment for a sex addiction, he and his wife of more than 11 years, Téa Leoni, have confirmed that they have split.

"In light of continuous speculation over the lives and marriage of Téa Leoni and David Duchovny, the couple has confirmed that they have in fact been separated for several months," the actors' reps said in a joint statement to People.

"The couple had hoped to keep this separation private for the sake of their children."

Duchovny and Leoni have two kids together, daughter Madelaine, 9, and son Kyd, 6. They tied the knot in May 1997.

Unfortunately, the pair's happiness meter came under intense scrutiny after Duchovny disclosed Aug. 28 that he had checked into rehab for sex addiction. Per his attorney, the Californication star was through with rehab and "about to start a new movie" by Oct. 6.

"He successfully completed his treatment," the lawyer said.
