Rumors are swirling that the Californication star is having an affair with Edit Pakay, his 28-year-old Hungarian-born tennis instructor. But Pakay tells E! News that's simply not the case.
"Yeah, we played tennis and we were playing partners and friends," she says. "There is no romance, and we are just friends. No love, nothing. That is all I have to say."
E! News also spoke with former tennis pro Trey Waltke, who works at the Malibu Racquet Club, where Duchovny, a longtime Malibu, Calif., resident, regularly plays. Waltke says he doesn't know anything about an affair.
"I've only worked there about a year, and I've never met her," says Waltke. "She doesn't work there anymore and hasn't for at least a year."
Meanwhile, Pakay's insistence that there is "no romance" between her and the former X-Files actor, who recently split from wife Téa Leoni, comes after a report in Sunday's London Mail linking the two of them together. Pakay allegedly told the paper: "I don't want to say anything that might hurt David. I am not going to deny it. I don't know what our relationship means to him."
The truth is out there. Somewhere.
