Gillian Anderson has been a busy bee lately. She has just announced that she is expecting again, just before she turns 40. The child will be the second for her and boyfriend Mark Griffiths who have a son named Oscar, born in 2002. Anderson also has a daughter, Piper, 13, from another marriage. Although this is the first that many people have heard of the pregnancy, Anderson is expected to give birth in a couple of months. The pregnancy reportedly caused many problems while she was on the set of the new X-Files movie, due out this July. From Mail Online,

“Anderson, 39, admitted she found working on the action movie a gruelling task - as she is not as fit as her co-star David Duchovny. So she left him to do majority of the stunts.

She said:’”It was hard work. I’m too old for this. David’s in the best shape of his life and did most of the work. He’s climbing and jumping off cliffs.

‘I was more exhausted by the end of it than he was. I’m a wimp.’

The X-Files TV show officially ended in 2002 but the actress has revived her character F.B.I. Special Agent Dana Scully for the series’ second full-length feature film.

Special Agents Mulder and Scully are reunited on the big screen after six years apart.”

Wouldn’t it be cool if that baby came just a tiny bit early and was born on the same day the movie was released?

X-Files star Gillian Anderson and her husband, photojournalist and documentary filmmaker Julian Ozanne, are separating after 16 months of marriage, their London-based lawyers said in a statement.

“Gillian Anderson and Julian Ozanne are saddened to announce that their marriage is at an end and they are in the process of separating.

“At this difficult time they request their privacy is respected. There will be no further comment,” said the statement from the legal firm of Schillings on behalf of Anderson, 37, and Ozanne, 43.

Anderson, a Chicago native, married Kenya-born foreign correspondent Ozanne on Dec. 29, 2004, on Lamu’s Shella island, off Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast.

Only Anderson’s immediate family, who had flown over from the U.S., and a handful of close friends attended the event, which was held in the gardens of London socialite Kate Barker’s Moroccan-style beach house, PEOPLE reported at the time. The bridesmaid was Gillian’s now-11-year-old daughter, Piper, from her previous marriage to movie art director Clyde Klotz.

Anderson and her daughter lived with Ozanne in London. The actress, best known as The X-Files’s Scully, recently received a Bafta Best Actress nomination for her portrayal of Lady Dedlock in the BBC’s adaptation of Charles Dickens’s Bleak House.
