Dating David Duchovny
Perrey Reeves is today a famous American actress, who became popular thanks to the American actor, writer and singer David Duchovny. The actor who is perhaps still best known for playing the lead character Fox Mulder in the science fiction series “The X-Files”, started dating Perrey in 1993 after they met on the set of the very TV series, and were together for two years before splitting for unknown reasons. David married Tea Leoni four years later, and on 28 August 2008, he announced that he had joined a rehabilitation program to work on his sex addiction, and it became obvious what could have been the issue between him and Perrey although neither of them have confirmed it.
David and his wife Tea’s divorce was made official in June 2014, and he has apparently been single since.
Perrey’s marriage with Aaron Fox
Perrey met Aaron Fox, the co-founder of the tennis company Grips and its current president, in 2013, when they were introduced by mutual friends who believed the two would be a perfect match and it appears as they were right. According to PEOPLE, Aaron asked Perrey to marry him in September 2014 in a suite at Ace Hotel which he filled with roses, and after she accepted, he took her to the ABC Kitchen where both of their families were waiting to surprise Perrey.
The private ceremony was held on 13 June 2015, and it was Perrey who didn’t want to invite a lot of guests, but rather preferred to have only their closest of friends and family attending – it was expected of her to invite the entire cast of the series “Entourage”, as she was very close to everybody.
Perrey became pregnant in June 2017 but kept it hidden, and gave birth to her and Aaron’s daughter Phoenix Delphine Fox in October, again keeping it hidden until five months later when the magazine “US Weekly” revealed that Perrey had given birth and shared their interview. Perrey talked to “US Weekly” about how she ‘s not nervous about raising a child at the age of 47, and that she feels Phoenix was a gift as she is now a successful and fulfilled actress and her daughter has completed her as a person.
Neither Perrey nor Aaron knew whether they were going to have a boy or a girl.
Around the time when she gave birth to Phoenix, Perrey was playing the supporting character Nina Devon in the romantic drama series “Famous in Love”, and although she was supposed to be a member of the main cast in the series’ second season, she chose to take some time off to be with her newborn baby.
Steadily making her way up in the film industry
Perrey grew up without being allowed to watch TV, which is somewhat strange as it was her paternal grandfather who brought stereophonic sound to movies, but this didn’t stop her two academic parents from forbidding the use of TV in their house (they didn’t even own one).
They preferred Perrey to read books, and she studied in the US, France and Italy, and it was when she watched her first movie on a TV in Italy that she fell in love with acting, and decided she herself was going to become an actress one day.
It was in 1989 that she appeared as Laura in her first movie “Mothers, Daughters and Lovers”, but gained recognition in 1991 when she starred as Kristen De Silva in the horror movie “Child’s Play 3”, and was praised for her performance. After steadily becoming recognized as the actress who can come to a role as if it was really her, she was cast to appear in several critically acclaimed movies, such as “Escape to Witch Mountain” in 1995 alongside Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, and “Mr. & Mrs Smith” in 2005 alongside Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
However, the role which established Perrey as a very successful actress was her portrayal of the lead character Melissa Gold in the critically acclaimed comedy series “Entourage”, which aired from 2004 to 2011, and also starred Kevin Connolly, Adrian Grenier and Kevin Dillon. Perrey was absolutely amazing in the series, and even the critics noticed her performance as she was nominated for three Golden Nymph Awards for Outstanding Actress – Comedy Series. As she has stated in an interview with Moviehole, it was fun shooting the series with her friend of over 10 years Jeremy Piven, and although many people believed that it might have been awkward for the two to shoot their bedroom scene, Perrey revealed in the interview that it was actually a funny scene to make, and that even the crew had a blast as they were laughing during the entire shoot.
It made it a lot easier for Perrey that her character was actually quite similar to her, as both of them are straightforward and somewhat strict (although her character is a bit stricter than her).
Perrey is very passionate about animals and yoga
The only one thing Perrey loves nearly as close as Home Depot are animals. She is often donating both her money and time to The International Fund for Animal Welfare, while she has also volunteered at several animal shelters during her teenage years. She has several pet dogs living at her home, most of which are rescues, and she likes the fact that her daughter is growing up alongside dogs, as she believes this will help Phoenix become a better person and more caring about the people around her.
She is also very passionate about yoga, and has been doing it since 1993. It all began for her when she started having problems with David Duchovny, and she realized that yoga helps her relax and calm her mind, and as she believes in natural medicine, she went on to become a practitioner of Ayurveda which is an ancient Indian healthcare tradition. In 2012, she started living in Costa Rica, where she co-founded The Sanctuary at Two Rivers Yoga Retreat & Yoga Teacher Training Certification Program in Cabuya, and it can still be found there even though Perrey is no longer directly involved.
Most recent projects
Shortly after giving birth to her daughter, Perrey returned to acting as she couldn’t imagine herself doing anything else rather than being on sets of movies and TV series. It was in 2019 that she played the lead character Clarissa in the drama film “The World Without You”, but the film received mixed reviews and didn’t attract much attention, however, Perrey went on to make it up by playing Gina in the romantic comedy movie “Plus One”, which was loved by the audience, and won two Audience Awards for Narrative.
She has recently been cast to play Natalie, one of the lead characters in the series “Paradise City”, which is the spin-off from the supernatural musical thriller movie “American Satan”, and which has so far aired eight episodes.
