I fell down the Tumblr Rabbit Hole and found your page.I’m not really a big X Files fan and I didn’t even realize people cared THAT much about David Ducovny and Gillian Anderson anymore, but apparently they do and that’s cool. So, my story to share might not be that interesting, whatever, but I saw your page and presumed you might get a kick out of it. So, back in the late 90’s/early 00’s my sister worked worked for Fox. (Gonna have to split this up into seperate messages so read the next one)..

….(con’t)….I don’t wanna say what she did in case the wrong folks read this. So anyway, she did some work involving the X-Files, but wasn’t really on set much. However, she used talk all the time about David and Gillian (mainly because our other sister was into the show, I liked it a bit, but didn’t follow it religiously). So anyway, she would say how it was well known on set that David and Gillian would fuck around a lot. That they would fight a lot, but everyone on set….
….(con’t)….Generally she would say that they had this really weird relationship that everyone was aware of. The impression everyone had was that David wanted to make a go of it, but Gillian didn’t like the idea, but she did like fucking around with him when it suited. My sister left Fox a number of years ago, but I remember her saying a few years back that things were a bit more normal between them now. But yeah, they totally did have sex and it was not a big secret.

Normally, I don’t post that kind of messages when they come from anons, but I have a good feeling about this one. Also, it’s nothing we knew already ;)! Thanks for sharing, anon!

maybe I missed this but that Paley guy ever said anything about David and Gillian’s relationship on that day? or Mitch Pileggi or anyone else on the set or panels (besides CC and Kim Manners) ever comment about their chemistry? Thank you!

There was also a journalist who was very confused and tweeted that they were going places looking like an actual couple but I can’t find it now!

there you go! Thanks @iva69s!

This whole break up thing is based on fans telling each other, building this entire crossing the Atlantic every other week love story between them based on staring at the same gifs in slo-mo countless times, picking apart every hand movement and smile and tone of voice and omg they love each other they said that and it means they are in love and was in love all these years. The break up comes from fans. Just like everything else. Even with PM in the picture and MP it’s still an alive fantasy😏

Yes there were times back in the day, funny thing hardcore g**gans were more gillovny than most people ever were. I see a pattern.

I have to jump on this.

1. Many people from the Media, to casual observers think that they are/were dating.

2. Slow-mo gifs come from live-action flirting, touching, feeling, real-life interviews and appearances where any rational person and even casual observer would make the quite reasonable inference that these two people share an affection that goes WAY beyond mere friendly co-workers.

3. Gillian has never, ever, ever named the person she considers her partner/boyfriend. ANON is accusing people who have reasonably assumed D and G were dating based on their incredibly obvious behavior, of being irrational. Yet, in my experience, there are no love signals coming out of Gillian’s appearances with PM. Their behavior together is beyond peculiar to me (and I know for a fact that I am not alone in this). If they are dating, it is one of the coldest and most disturbing couplings I have ever witnessed. NOT RELATIONSHIP GOALS.

4. Not all people who believe that D and G had some sort of relationship have claimed to know the scope and magnitude of that coupling. The way ANON worded this seems to imply that “we all” believe that D and G followed some sort of relationship protocal. I will not speak for others, but the blogs I follow have stated over and again that they have NO IDEA the details of how the relationship D and G had played out irl.

5. Simply put, based on 2012-2016 behavior, interviews and the continued connection they share and how some of that dynamic has shifted of late, the idea that D and G were involved in some incarnation of a relationship during the last 5 years is more logical to me than believing that Gillian is in love with the cold cronie with whom she attends award shows and strange Portofino trips. I, and many who share my beliefs, are individuals just as many who disagree with us are. Lumping us into some rigid version of what you believe we believe, anon, is completely unfair and inaccurate. Clearly you are judging through your very filtered and biased lens.
