“My childhood heroes,” replied one follower, based on the actors’ many years of television history.

While their Instagram gathering shows tongues wagging, it remains to be clarified whether the former co-stars have reunited for work or play. However, it doesn’t seem like the duo have any plans to team up again anytime soon. Anderson is currently preparing to star as Eleanor Roosevelt in a TV series titled The First Lady, while Duchovny has been focused on his music career lately, Yahoo Life reported earlier.
The hangout comes just a few months after the announcement of Anderson’s divorce from partner Peter Morgan. As early as December, it was announced that Anderson and the creator of the popular Netflix series The crown would break up after four years. Anderson won a Golden Globe for her performance as British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on the show in February.
Like many people who go through a breakup, Anderson turned to her furry boyfriend after the split.
“Meet my new friend Stella,” Anderson wrote in an Instagram post, sharing a photo of herself cuddling the young dog lounging on a pink couch.
