Personal life
Anderson married her first husband, Clyde Klotz, The X-Files series assistant art director, on New Year’s Day 1994, in Hawaii in a Buddhist ceremony. They had a daughter, Piper Maru (born September 1994), for whom Chris Carter named the X-Files episode of the same name, and divorced in 1997.[42] In December 2004, Anderson married Julian Ozanne, a documentary filmmaker, on Lamu Island, off the coast of Kenya. Anderson announced their separation on April 21, 2006.[43] Anderson and former boyfriend, Mark Griffiths, have two sons: Oscar, born November 2006[44] and Felix, born October 2008.[45] She ended their relationship in 2012.[46] In March 2012, Anderson told Out magazine about her past relationship with a girl while in high school.[47] Anderson “...said she first experimented with women during her rebellious teenaged years, when she moved from England to the United States.”[48]
Anderson’s brother died in 2011 of a brain tumor, at the age of 30.[48][49]

I take it as a cool thing for a lib to say to a homosexual publication. Maybe she really had such a relationship, but that’s brownie points in Hollywood. Granted, I’m a little sexist; if Duchovny said he had a sexual relationship with a male in high school, I’d consider him hopelessly gay (it’s the old Andrew “Dice” Clay, “If you commit a gay act, you’re gay,” standard). And, yes, Dice’s phrase has been heavily cleaned up there!
Never watched the X-Files, but I’m watching nightly on Netflix to get prepared. I’ve watched Kolchak, Supernatural (became too left-wing partisan and I came to despise it), Grimm and other of these genre shows, but this one has has some of the only episodes that were actually disturbing to me. The humanoid parasitic worm, the Satanic substitute teacher, the geek who ate the detached Siamese twin, and the one I saw last night about the boy who’s stillborn twin murdered most of his family. Really unsettling stuff.
