David Duchovny is married, Entertainment News
David Duchovny has got married.
The X Files actor and his partner Monique Pendleberry — who he has been in a relationship with for almost six years — were spotted in Malibu on Tuesday (May 20) wearing rings on their wedding fingers, and insiders have now confirmed to Us Weekly that the pair have tied the knot.
The 64-year-old star — who has West, 26, and Kyd, 22, with ex-wife Tea Leoni — began dating Monique, 31, in 2017 but they have made very few public appearances together over the years.
He previously told how his 2014 divorce from Tea, 59, made him "more empathetic and humble".
He told The Times about the emotional fallout he was hit by following the split: "That darkness does deepen you. It makes you more empathetic and humble."
David also opened up about how people are constantly trying to work out if his role as womaniser Hank Moody in Californication was linked to him checking into rehab for sex addiction in 2008.
He said when asked if the role was a case of art imitating life: "People never tire of trying to figure that out.
"But to me, that's not what acting is about. I don't look for things that are mirroring my life in any way."
He has also confessed to feeling "inadequate" as a father because he was always working so much.
He told People magazine last year: "Maybe I was a good parent, because my kids are great people, and they probably want to think of me as a good parent, too.
"They don't want to think of me as a failure. I'm sure I've done bad things, I'm sure I've made mistakes, but we all have. So, I try and give myself more of a break.
However, he noted it was "also cool to model a person who's engaged with their life for a kid."
He added: "It might not be the best thing to just devote your entire existence to your kid either, so it could go either way.
"I don't have access to the other road that could have been travelled. I just have the one that I did travel, so certainly not a perfect parent, but I love my kids. I love my kids so, so much."

'I will never stop': Tom Cruise intends to keep making movies into his 100s , Entertainment News
The 62-year-old actor has no plans of slowing down, following the release of Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning, and Tom has revealed that he doesn't have any intention of ever retiring from the film business. The actor — who previously said he wanted to keep making films into his 80s, like his inspiration Harrison Ford — told The Hollywood Reporter: "I'm going to make them into my 100s. "I will never stop. I will never stop doing action, I will never stop doing drama, comedy films — I'm excited." Tom made his film debut in the 1981 romantic drama, Endless Love, before he enjoyed a career breakthrough in 1986's Top Gun. The actor has starred in the Mission: Impossible film franchise since 1996 and remains passionate about making movies. Recalling his "exceptional" experience of making the films, Tom said: "There's been so many levels of reward with the filmmakers that I've collaborated with, the crews, the people, the cultures that we've worked in. "Everything that I've learned and continue to learn about storytelling, about life, about leadership, about character and every aspect of filmmaking. "It's been exceptional, it really is exceptional. I feel very fortunate to be able to make the films that I make, and I love it, I just making movies." Tom has filmed countless stunts for the Mission: Impossible franchise, and the actor has revealed that he's developed a series of "pre-stunt rituals" in a bid to "keep [him] alive". The veteran movie star — who is one of the best-paid actors in Hollywood — shared: "There's a lot of pre-stunt rituals that keep me alive — it depends on what I'm doing and the amount of preparation I have to do. "A lot of thought goes into it, and they are very complex and very interesting." Tom famously hung off a military plane in the opening scene of 2015's Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation, and he's performed numerous aerial sequences in the money-spinning film series. Tom previously revealed that he has to be fuelled with energy before he does his stunts, explaining that he'll eat "almost a dozen" eggs with bacon and sausages and down several cups of coffee before the cameras start rolling. Speaking to People magazine, Tom shared: "I actually eat a massive breakfast. "The amount of energy it takes — I train so hard for that wing-walking. "I'll eat, like, sausage and almost a dozen eggs and bacon and toast and coffee and fluids. "Oh, I'm eating! Picture: It's cold up there. We're at high altitude. My body is burning a lot."

Demi Lovato and Jutes reportedly set to tie the knot on Memorial Day weekend, Entertainment News
Demi Lovato and Jutes are reportedly set to tie the knot on Memorial Day weekend. The Cool For The Summer hitmaker's upcoming nuptials to the fellow musician will take place very soon, reports TMZ. Memorial Day in the US is observed on May 26. Further details such as the location of the wedding is unknown. The couple announced their engagement in December 2023. Demi, 32, recently shared how she appreciates being in a "supportive relationship". She told Us Weekly: "I think being in a supportive relationship is just so rewarding, because no matter what endeavours we embark on, I know that my partner will always support me." Demi has struggled with mental illnesses — including bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety — over the years, and the pop star now considers good physical health to be key to her mental health. She shared: "You just have to find balance in everything you do, whether it's with working or resting. Rest and recovery are equally as important to working out as the actual workouts themselves." Demi has been focused on her health and wellness goals in recent times, but the singer feels "excited for the year ahead". The chart-topping star — who was previously dated Wilmer Valderrama — revealed: "I'm currently in the studio. I can't say much more now, but I am excited for the year ahead!" Meanwhile, Jutes previously revealed that he isn't in a rush to tie the knot. The musician admitted that the loved-up couple are determined to take their time, as they plan their perfect wedding day. He told People: "We're not trying to stress ourselves out. "I feel like a lot of weddings can be stressful and very quick, and so we're on it, but we're also taking our time, and we're also just enjoying being engaged." Jutes observed that they'll be "married forever", meaning they don't need to rush towards their wedding day. He said: "We're not trying to skip engagement to get right to wedding. We're just basking in it and soaking it up. We'll be married forever. We just want to enjoy every step." Prior to that, Demi hailed Jutes as her perfect partner. The singer told People: "You know, I've waited my whole life for him. "It's very grounding to have a partner who is so supportive, so loving, so caring. It's very easy to stay centred with him, because I love him so much and he treats me so amazing." [[nid:717910]]
