David Duchovny's wife once passed out when they had sex in a sauna. The 'X-Files: I Want to Believe' star has revealed actress spouse Tea Leoni was overcome by the heat when the pair got steamy during a romantic break in Canada.

David explained: "It was early in the relationship and we were on a weekend getaway in Vancouver. "We were just all over each other - the sauna wasn't going to stop me! I recovered pretty quickly, but Tea? David, 47, also revealed he and his 42-year-old wife - who have been married for 11 years - have matching tattoos because he didn't like wearing a wedding ring.

He added to Britain's The Sun newspaper: "I hate wearing the metal because I bang it everywhere and hurt myself. We made a compromise and I said, 'If I get a tattoo, can I take the ring off?' "She liked it and went out and got one for herself. It's a phrase we say to one another but I don't actually tell anybody. It's AYSF. It stands for something."

David and Tea have two children, Madelaine, eight, and six-year-old Kyd.
