While their Instagram meet-up has tongues wagging, it has yet to be clarified if the former co-stars reunited for work or play. However, it doesn't seem like the duo has plans to work together 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 previously reported.
The hangout comes just a few months after the announcement of Anderson's split from partner Peter Morgan. Back in December, it was announced that Anderson and the creator of the popular Netflix series The Crown would separate after four years. Anderson won a Golden Globe for her role as British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on the show in February.
Like many people going through a breakup, Anderson turned to her furry friend after the split.
"Meet my new gf Stella," Anderson wrote in an Instagram post, sharing a photo of herself cuddling the young dog as she lounged on a pink couch.
