David Duchovny at the UK Premiere of 'The X-Files: I Want to Believe' held at the Empire Leicester Square. London, England - 30.07.08

In the October (08) article, the Mail alluded to a possible affair between Duchovny and his coach Edit Pakay.

The actor immediately denied the report and filed a defamation suit in Los Angeles.

The publication printed an apology to the star last weekend (15Nov08), admitting the newspaper's original story was "inaccurate".

And now Duchovny has dropped the suit he filed against the tabloid, according to E! Online.

Duchovny and Leoni separated in October after 11 years of marriage.
