Gillian Anderson has split from her longtime partner Mark Griffiths.

The duo, who never got married, share sons Oscar, five, and Felix, three and spent six years together.

A representative for the actress told Us Weekly magazine: "Gillian Anderson and her partner Mark Griffiths have amicably separated after six years together."

'The X-Files' and 'House of Mirth' actress has been married twice before. She and film art director Clyde Kotz, with whom she shares daughter Piper, 17, divorced in 1997.

The star and documentarian Julian Ozanne were married for two years before parting ways in 2006.

Last month Gillian revealed she "never" identified with being gay "100 per cent".

The 43-year-old actress - who revealed to Out Magazine in March that she's previously been in relationships with women - admits she "always knew" she still liked men during her younger years, but she wanted to see what it was like to choose to experiment with the same sex.

I wonder if the Out interview had anything to do with the break-up?

[Williams]

Aren’t all the marriages and relationships listed with men? Then they just throw in that she was never “100% gay”.

We certainly have unusual priorities these days.

The duo…share sons Oscar, five, and Felix, three and spent six years together.

Oscar and Felix look a little rough for being only three and five:

from the Family Guy episode where Peter enters the National Spelling Bee...

MODERATOR - the word is “lesbians”
PETER - May I hear it used in a sentence, please?
MODERATOR - The two lesbians went shopping
(pause)
PETER - May I hear it used in a libelous sentence, please?
MODERATOR - Helen Hunt and Gillian Anderson are lesbians.

Felix and Oscar? An odd woman who named her sons after the Odd Couple. Seriously, these Hollyweird folks are nuts.

[dangus]

LOL.

Question #1:Exactly who is Gillian Anderson?
Question #2:Exactly who is Mark Griffiths?
Question #3:Exactly why should I give a rat's hindquarters that they've split?

[ozzymandus]

You shouldn’t. So why go the the bother of asking? Too much free time?

[JaguarXKE]

Well, because a rat’s azz would be a fair trade for this information.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Personally I always thought she got cast in The X-Files because her looks were ordinary enough to make her a believable FBI agent.

100% Lesbian

I think Mulder had more to do with it than a magazine interview. At least according to gossip sites.

They sure seemed like an odd couple.

The 43-year-old actress ... admits she "always knew" she still liked men during her younger years, but she wanted to see what it was like to choose to experiment with the same sex.
But, but, what about the "gay gene?" I thought they were born mentally ill.

OP she could play Hillary in the future Clinton movies:

[ATOMIC_PUNK]
