Fans want to believe.

Gillian Anderson is dating her former "X-Files" co-star David Duchovny, if you trust the site Celebritydirtylaundry.com.

They have a source who says Duchovny and Anderson have been in a serious relationship for awhile now, so serious that she and her kids are living with the "Californication" star.

They also bring up an interview she did a few weeks ago with the UK Sunday Times Magazine where she massively hedges when asked about her love life. Here is the excerpt the website cites:

I ask if she has a partner at the moment. Her answer is peculiar."Um...yes...umm...umm..." There is a long pause. "Say yes," she stutters finally.

Is this one we know about, I say, the father of the two youngest children, or a new one? "Umm, no, no... why do you ask me?" she counters. 

To add fuel to the fire, Anderson also confirmed this week that she split with her long-term boyfriend and father of her two children, Mark Griffiths.
