I know Ta Leoni doesn’t get too much interest around here, but I like to talk about her and I like to read her interviews. She has a good head on her shoulders, she has thoughtful things to say, and she’s not looking for fame and admiration like so many other celebrities. The last time we covered an interview with Ta she revealed that she loves to fly fish and fry up what she catches. We also heard that she’s dating her onscreen husband, Tim Daly.
Ta, 49, covers the March issue of More Magazine. The editorial is beautiful and looks like an ad for a luxury brand. Ta is promoting Madam Secretary, which returns March 1 to CBS to finish its first season and has already been renewed for second. As you know, Ta’s divorce from David Duchovny was finalized last year. They have two children, Madelaine, 15, and Kyd, 12. Ta. Ta admits that things got messy in her marriage, but she doesn’t get into details and she maintains that she loves David. Ta got candid with More about her career, children and her grounded outlook on life. As usual, this was a joy to read:
On misogyny and ageism in Hollywood:
[Brett] Ratner (her director on the 2000 film The Family Man)?whom I really like, by the way?was going around telling people that despite my age, I was ?still doable.? I think I was 34 then. And he was something like 28. I asked myself, ?Do I still care about that?? And at that time, I did. I felt that pressure to be ?doable.? It was the meanest thought I?d had for myself in a long time.
Thankfully, I?ve moved past all that. Chasing youth is a war I?m not going to win. It?s not like I?m thrilled to turn around and catch my can in the mirror, but I can see now how much of my happiness could be a victim of trying to stay young and desirable. And it feels like peace and victory to be relieved of that burden.
On her early career:
I had one long thread of shitty advice throughout my career, which was, ?You have to do this in order to do that.? So I did some projects that were lacking. I was ?the chick of the flick.?
On her industry reputation as a ?Pass-a-dena?:
For every project I do, there are a lot I don?t. People have asked if I?m lazy. In a way it?s flattering. But the truth is, if you?re going to pull me away from my children, I need to have some connection to the work.?
On what?s more important to her than an Oscar:
People tell me I?ve never really made it. They say, ?You don?t have an Oscar.? There?s not an accolade in Hollywood that could replace time with my kids. At this stage of my life, it?s not about contentment. Or appealing to 20-year-olds. Or awards. It?s about finding something more. As I tell my daughter, ?Hear your voice first.?
On living in the now
Now when the kids walk in, I?m listening to them and just loving them. I?m getting much better at noticing that life is good. That everything passes. I tell my children that. Think about the now, not the then or later. That?s the art.
On her ex, David Duchovny
On occasion, I want to throttle him. But in any real relationship with someone you love, that?s true.
[From More Magazine, received via email]
Her advice is simple and yet poignant: don’t chase fame or youth, live in the moment and be present with the people in your life. I didn’t realize that actors judged each other by their awards, but I guess there are judgmental people everywhere, and there are even those who will say it to your face. Ta doesn’t care, she’d rather be fishing or hanging out with her kids and she’ll tell you about it. She’ll also tell you about directors being creeps. I bet she has worse stories to tell.

Here’s a nice story of two costars who fell for each other when they were both single. (See also: Lauren Graham and Peter Krause. And don’t tell me they’re not still together or my day will be ruined.) Tea Leoni, 48, and Tim Daly, 58, play a married couple on CBS’ Madam Secretary, and now they’re dating in real life. The best part of this story is that they were both divorced with two kids each when they met, and it’s also somewhat awesome that they’re around the same age too:
Tea Leoni’s leading man on-screen is now her leading man offscreen, too! As revealed exclusively in the new issue of Us Weekly, the recently divorced Madam Secretary actress is dating her costar Tim Daly, who plays the husband of her character Elizabeth Faulkner McCord on the CBS political drama.
“Their chemistry on set is electrifying,” a source tells Us of Leoni, 48, and Daly, 58. “They have an amazing time filming.”
The fun continues off-camera, too. On Friday, Nov. 14, the duo were seen strolling down a street in L.A.’s Venice area “with their arms wrapped around each other,” a witness says, adding, “They were definitely couple-y.”
For his part, Private Practice alum Daly gushed about working with Leoni back in September, telling Collider they went to the same high school in Vermont, years apart. “She’s a person, like me and like a lot of people who have gone to that school…who can be perfectly happy sleeping in a wet sleeping bag on a stone floor, or staying in a fancy hotel,” he said of his costar.
“She’s not a whiner. She wants to work hard and she wants to have fun,” he added. “We get along really, really well. We have a really good time. I’ve gotten along with plenty of people, but the chemistry sucked. And I’ve hated people where the chemistry is great. It’s much better if you get along and the chemistry is good. That’s perfect.”

That’s really sweet that Tim gushed about working with Tea. US Magazine points out that Tim has been divorced since 2010 and that Tea just finalized her divorce from David Duchovny four months ago. I doubt this burgeoning relationship had anything to do with Tea’s split – Tea and David first announced their separation in 2008 (after he went to rehab for sex addiction), and they reunited but then split up again in 2011. They may have had a another go-around after that although that’s difficult to google. The point is that both Tea and Tim were single when they hooked up. Tea also doesn’t seem to have any hard feelings for her ex, she told Parade Magazine a few months ago that “David gave me the two greatest gifts on the planet” (referring to their two kids, one of whom is literally named Kyd) and that “We?ve always loved each other, and we adore these kids.” Yay for amicable divorces and new love.

David Duchovny and Tea Leoni have weathered his sex addiction and her affair, but it looks like they are finally going their separate ways. TMZ says:
Although David and Tea are taking time apart, they have not decided if they will file for divorce.
David and Tea were married back in 1997 — and briefly separated in 2008.
The couple has 2 children together — a 12-year-old daughter and a 9-year-old son.
In more exciting news, my zinnias had six new blooms this morning, thanks in large part to my use of a slow-acting granular fertilizer and judicious pinching of spent flowers, which is a must if you want to encourage branching and maintain an overall neat appearance.

I haven?t really followed David Duchovny in a while, and the state of his marriage kind of confused me. According to reports, David and his wife Tea Leoni split up in 2008 after Tea caught (?caught?) David screwing around. David claimed he was a sex addict (sure) and he went into ?rehab?. After the ?rehab? cured him of his sex addiction, Tea and David seemed to reunite and there were occasional paparazzi shots of the two of them, or David and Tea with their kids, Madelaine West, 12, and Kyd, 9.
Anyway, last night the couple?s rep confirmed that David and Tea are ?taking time apart? again. They?re separating, but there?s no word on whether they will divorce, or perhaps get back together again once David complete another rehab stay for his sex addiction. TMZ?s sources say that they don?t even know if they?re finally going to end it this time. Isn?t it fait accompli that David continued to screw around on Tea? You know what?s really surprising, though? You rarely hear about his other women. Either David goes with pros, or he goes with very discreet women.
So, is this sad news? Sure, it totally is. I think Tea really loves David, and that?s why she sticks around despite his blatant philandering. I think she wants their kids to have a family with mom and a dad who stick it out. But I also think that David has issues. I?ve always been ambivalent about the ?sex addiction? excuse because I think men use it as an easy ?out? for screwing around. I don?t know if David is addicted to sex? but I don?t think he?s going to stop philandering any time soon.

Making the most of the summer sunshine, David Duchovny and Tea Leoni were spotted on the beach in Malibu yesterday afternoon (July 18).
Joined by their kids and some friends, the ?Californication? actor and the ?Spanglish? babe looked to be having a blast together.
David took to the sea in hopes of catching some waves on his surfboard while Tea laid out a beach towel and showed off a bit more of her backside than she planned.
Duchovny and Leoni?s marriage seems to be stronger than ever these days after almost splitting up in 2008 because of David?s sex addiction.

Either these photos of Tea Leoni in a bikini are old (see here) or she’s committed the unspeakable celebrity sin of wearing the same bikini twice. Tea needs to be more careful before she’s shamed into irrelevance aka celebrity purgatory. Flaunting her practicality like this is no way to make friends in Hollywood. They’re all going to laugh at you, Tea. They’re all going to laugh at you.

I wouldn’t call Tea Leoni a MILF just yet. She has the potential, if she would tone up a bit or get plastic surgery done, which means she’s not completely useless. Actually, it does. Sorry, I was going to go for the wholesome, average, everyday woman angle, but since this site is all about objectifying

When it was announced that David Duchovny was entering rehab for a rumored sex addiction, news started coming out that he and Tea Leoni were headed for divorce. That didn’t happen and earlier this month they were said to have renewed their vows. Guess what? It worked. Maybe.
Here’s Tea Leoni looking slightly happy and confused in a bikini at the beach for Father’s Day. David Duchovny was there too, but he’s hard to make out since he’s under the ocean going down on some girl.

David Duchovny, Tea Leoni and their two children, Madelaine, 10, and Kid, 7, were spotted having fun on the beach in Malibu on Saturday. Tea, 43, looks amazing and fit and David, 48, is much buffer and more filled out than the super skinny look he sported late last year. Tea and David announced in October that they were separated for several months, after David went to rehab for a sex addiction. David and Tea have been married for 12 years. David denied cheating on his wife with his female tennis instructor, as was rumored at the time. There were stories that his issue was with an online sex addiction, not that he was unfaithful - depending on how you define it.
Since they went through that rough patch last year, David and Tea have been seen out together quite a few times and seem to have worked things out. They went on a romantic family vacation to the Caribbean earlier this year, and there are even rumors that they’re hoping for another child. Judging from Leoni’s super flat stomach, they probably don’t have a biological child on the way. People Magazine has a kind of sweet story to accompany these photos that “they’re still in love”:
David Duchovny and Ta Leoni looked like the picture perfect family on June 14 as they frolicked on the Malibu beach with their two kids, smiling and playing in the water.
The couple has shown a united front ? and no discord ? since they announced their separation last fall after Duchovny voluntarily entered rehab for sex addiction. Sources tell PEOPLE the couple remains close for the sake of their children Madeline, 10, and Kyd, 7.
“Their relationship has really improved,” says a pal of Duchnovny, who stars in the Showtime series Californication. “They’re still in love. They very much care for each other and whatever happens they are working it out for the kids.”
Duchovny’s willingness to enter rehab was always in the spirit of saving his marriage, a source tells PEOPLE. “He’s doing his best to move forward with his life and career,” the source says.
The couple, married in 1997, have been spotted together more frequently in the past few months. From courtside seats with the kids at New York Knicks basketball games to family vacations, all signs point to making their relationship work.
“Their first priority through everything was staying close for their kids and making life as great as it can be for them,” says a source of the couple. “They’ll always be a family.”

This is one of those happy-ending stories that I like to hear. It’s likely that these photos were planned and that a PR person called People Magazine, but the pictures do seem to represent reality and we’ve seen them out together quite a few times in the past few months. Congratulations to Tea and David on their reconcilation.

David Duchovny and Tea Leoni’s marriage is back on, and the couple has sealed their love with matching wedding ring tattoos.The pair announced the end of its 11-year marriage back in October, after Duchovny underwent a spell in rehab to treat sex addiction.But the actors reportedly have since worked out their differences and sealed their reunion with a March vacation on the Caribbean island of Mustique, and matching tattoos on their ring fingers.Duchovny explains to Star magazine, “I hate wearing the metal because I bang it everywhere and hurt myself. We made a compromise and I said, ‘If I get a tattoo, can I take the ring off?’ She liked it and went out and got one for herself.”But Duchovny is refusing to explain what the tattoo means: “It’s a phrase we say to each other but I don’t actually tell anybody. It’s AYSF. It stands for something.”
