Duchovny, Leoni Spawn Sequel

Mon., Jun. 17, 2002 2:20 PM PDT by

David Duchovny and Téa Leoni have conspired once again.

The star of the recently extinct X-Files star and his actress wife of five years celebrated the birth of a brand spanking new baby boy over the weekend, their publicist has confirmed.

Presumably no alien DNA was involved.

The child--whose name wasn't disclosed by the couple--was born Saturday in Los Angeles, weighing in at a healthy 7 pounds, 10 ounces. The tyke is the second in the Duchovny-Leoni clan, joining three-year-old sister Madelaine West.

Duchovny has some time to play dad now that he's officially wrapped The X-Files, reprising his role as alien-seeking Agent Fox "Spooky" Mulder one last time for the series' finale last month.

Aside from diaper duty, Duchovny is slated to begin work this month on My Dark Places, a film version of novelist James Ellroy's memoir focusing on his search to solve his mother's murder. The actor, whose uneven film career includes Evolution, Zoolander and Return to Me, is also said to be on board for the next X-Files movie, if and when that gets off the drawing board.

Next up, Duchovny will star opposite Julia Roberts in Steven Soderbergh's Full Frontal, due out August 2.

For Leoni, meanwhile, the birth was better than any Hollywood Ending. In addition to the recent Woody Allen film, which did middling box office, the leggy blonde--who also has films like Flirting with Disaster, Deep Impact, The Family Man and Jurassic Park III to her credit--will be seen in People I Know, a drama costarring Al Pacino and Kim Basinger and scheduled to be released later this year.
