‘Madam Secretary' co-stars Téa Leoni and Tim Daly are now real-life spouses
Téa Leoni and Tim Daly, I now pronounce you Mr. & Mrs. 'Madam Secretary.' The pair of actors, who shared the screen on the CBS political drama, will now share a life together as husband and wife, making their TV romance a reality. Leoni, 59, and Daly, 69, tied the knot Sunday in a private ceremony, The Times confirmed Tuesday. Leoni and Daly began dating in the summer of 2014 and starred in 'Madam Secretary' as United States Secretary of State Elizabeth McCord and her scholar husband Henry McCord. The series aired on CBS from September 2014 to December 2019. A representative for Leoni did not confirm additional details about the newlyweds' ceremony, but People reported that the actors' intimate nuptials took place in New York with only immediate family as attendees. Leoni and Daly began their romance just before the former finalized her divorce with 'X Files' star David Duchovny. Leoni and Duchovny wed in 1997 after meeting on 'The Tonight Show' and share two adult children, actor West Duchovny and Kyd Miller Duchovny. Before David Duchovny, Leoni was married to TV producer Neil Joseph Tardio Jr. from 1991 to 1995. Daly's marriage to Leoni marks his second: He was previously married to theater actor Amy Van Nostrand. The exes share children Sam and Emelyn. Before crossing paths on 'Madam Secretary,' both Leoni and Daly had established their screen careers with a variety of TV and film credits. Leoni came to the CBS series with films including 'Bad Boys,' 'Spanglish' and 'Jurassic Park III' under her belt. She also appeared in the series 'The Naked Truth' and 'Flying Blind.' Daly's resume includes the series 'Wings' and 'Private Practice,' and he voiced Superman in several animated projects. In a March 2024 interview with the 'Really Famous With Kara Mayer Robinson' podcast, Daly spoke to its host about finding love on 'Madam Secretary.' He said his views about starting a committed relationship later in his life changed once he met Leoni. 'It's the deepest, most fun, most truly intimate relationship I've ever had,' he said.

David Duchovny gets married
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 (20.05.25) 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. The 'Californication' star 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.' The 'Fail Better' podcaster 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 traveled. 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.'
