David Duchovny Had Trouble 'Reattaching' to Daughter After 'Nightmare' RSV Experience: 'We Could Lose Her'


David Duchovny is admitting that he had trouble "reattaching" to his daughter West, now 25, after thinking she wasn't going to survive from RSV complications at 9 months old.

On Wednesday, May 8, the X Files actor, 63, appeared on an episode of SiriusXM's Let's Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa, opening up about his relationship with his daughter West, now 25, whom he shares with ex Téa Leoni, 58. "When my daughter West was 9 months old, she got RSV, which kind of was in the news again a couple years ago," the actor says of the respiratory virus, which infects the lungs and breathing passages. All three were smiling as they posed for photographers, with the proud mom standing between her kids in a black gown with elbow-length sleeves, a velvet skirt, and a sparkly bodice.
