Tea Leoni and David Duchovny are separating after 11 years of marriage and not because Duchovny is pervy, but because Tea Leoni couldn't keep her mitts off of Billy Bob Thorton.

The Daily Mail reports, "It was not his 'sexual compulsion proclivity' that caused the break-down of their marriage, but rather his discovery of explicit text messages on her mobile phone sent by actor Billy Bob Thornton. Through the texts Duchovny found out she had begun a relationship with Thornton.
Billy Bob met Téa when they made a comedy film together earlier this year called Manure. Thornton, a musician with his own band, has been seen with Téa at his gigs. 'She even helps him load and unload his truck,' says a friend of the couple."

Thorton has been married five times in the past. Leoni and Duchovny have two children together.
