David Duchovny might have started rumors that Mulder and Scully were married. However, before fans got too excited, "The X-Files" series creator Chris Carter shut down the reports. Setting things straight about the on-screen duo's relationship status, he said at the EW Fest over the weekend, "They were together but never married, so that was news to me."

Earlier this month at New York Comic Con, Duchovny addressed Scully as Mulder's wife when talking about his character's state of mind in the upcoming revival. "He has been diagnosed as depressed by his wife, Dr. Scully," he said, adding that Mulder's "not in a good place, he's living alone, not working, he's not shaving."

At the show's panel during the same event, Duchovny further hinted at Scully and Mulder's relationship status as saying, "You see that his marriage has not worked out." However, their domestic issue apparently won't be addressed a lot in the revival as the actor said, "I don't want to see Mulder and Scully on the couch at the therapist's office."

Joining Duchovny in the cast, Gillian Anderson reprises her role as Dana Scully, with original stars Annabeth Gish (Monica Reyes), Mitch Pileggi (Walter Skinner), William B. Davis (The Smoking Man), Dean Haglund (Langly), Tom Braidwood (Frohike) and Bruce Harwood (Byers) also returning.

The six-episode event series will encompass a mixture of stand-alone investigative episodes and those that further the original show's seminal mythology. Joel McHale stars as Tad O'Malley, a conservative talk show host who becomes an unlikely ally to Mulder.

"The X-Files" revival will launch with a two-night premiere on Sunday, January 24 and Monday, January 25 on FOX.
