Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny dating report: Dust off your 'X Files' fan fiction

Well, "X Files" fans, it appears that if you want something hard enough and long enough -- if you just believe -- it may actually come true.

This might be proof that the collective fandom 'shipper hive mind is more powerful than we ever imagined, so dust off that old Mulder/Scully fan fiction you posted on your favorite AOL message boards.

Gillian Anderson and longtime partner Mark Griffiths recently "amicably" split, her rep confirms to Us Weekly. The couple has two sons together, age 5 and age 3, but never wed.

David Duchovny quietly split from wife Tea Leoni after his sex addiction forced him into rehab in 2008.

And now a "source" confirms to CelebDirtyLaundry.com that Gillian and David are living together in Los Angeles. As "lovers."

Yes, that's the word used. Lovers.

Of course, it's just a rumor, as there's no way for us to confirm that CDL's source isn't living in their basement fervently re-reading that fan fiction you posted 15 years ago, but hey, it's fun to dream, right?
