David Duchovny and longtime girlfriend Monique Pendleberry were spotted wearing what appeared to be wedding rings during a laid-back stroll in Malibu on Tuesday — fueling speculation that the couple may have secretly tied the knot.
The X-Files actor, 64, and Pendleberry, 31, have kept their romance largely out of the public eye since first being linked in 2017, making only a handful of public appearances together over the years.
Their last major sighting was in New York City in September, and they previously walked the red carpet together at the 2023 premiere of Duchovny’s Netflix film You People and at the Tribeca Film Festival.
But this latest outing—with both Duchovny and Pendleberry flashing bands on their ring fingers—has fans buzzing once again.
Duchovny sported a simple silver band on his left hand, while Pendleberry paired a gold band with a sparkling diamond ring.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Duchovny’s reps for comment.

But this latest outing—with both Duchovny and Pendleberry flashing bands on their ring fingers—has fans buzzing once again
The couple have been together since meeting at a SunLife Organics Juicery, which Duchovny’s friend Khalil Rafati owns, and where Pendleberry was an employee at the time.
The New York City native was previously married to actress Téa Leoni, 59.
The pair tied the knot in 1997 and quickly became one of Hollywood’s most prominent power couples, often praised for keeping their private life relatively low-key despite their fame.
However, their relationship hit a rough patch in 2008 when Duchovny checked himself into a rehabilitation center for treatment of sex addiction.
The separation made headlines, but the two reunited in 2011, sparking hope for a lasting reconciliation.
Despite their efforts, the couple quietly parted ways again and ultimately finalized their divorce in 2014 after 17 years of marriage.
They share two children: daughter Madelaine West Duchovny, 24, who has begun forging her own path as an actress, and son Kyd Miller Duchovny, 21, who has largely stayed out of the spotlight.

Duchovny has remained devoted to co-parenting and frequently speaks fondly of his children in interviews.
Meanwhile, David’s latest move may mark a major new chapter in his life — possibly with a new bride by his side.
The actor is parting ways with the Malibu estate he’s called home for nearly two decades, listing it for a staggering $12.5 million.
Though best known for his on-screen roles in The X-Files and beyond, Duchovny has stayed busy over the years with a string of creative ventures — from launching a podcast and publishing several books, including his 2021 novel Truly Like Lightning.
But one of his proudest projects wasn’t in entertainment — it was the restoration of an old train caboose nestled on his Malibu property.
‘It’s one of the things I’m most proud of that I’ve ever developed in my life,’ Duchovny told WSJ of the caboose, which includes a living and sleeping area, dining nook, kitchen, bathroom, and even a roof deck. ‘It’s just an amazing little spot to be in.’
Duchovny is now putting the caboose — along with his three-bedroom main house — on the market after snapping up the property for $4.75 million in 2016.
The one-acre estate is tucked in Malibu’s coveted Point Dume neighborhood, just steps from the beach and surrounded by some of Hollywood’s biggest names.
