"The Insider" confirms that David Duchovny has entered a rehabilitation center for sex addiction.

"I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction," the "Californication" actor tells "The Insider" in a statement delivered by his lawyer, Stanton "Larry" Stein.  "I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."

The 48-year-old "X-Files" star has been married to actress Téa Leoni since 1997 and the couple have two children together.

There is no statement from Leoni, per her publicist. Showtime, which airs "Californication," tells "The Insider," "All of us at Showtime wish David and his family the best during this very private time."
