David Duchovny's Tennis Coach: "No Romance"

David Duchovny's tennis coach is denying she's to blame for his split from wife Tea Leoni.

"We played tennis, and we were playing partners and friends," Edit Parkay told E! News Monday. "There is no romance, and we are just friends. No love, nothing. That is all I have to say."

London's Daily Mail is reporting that the 48-year-old actor -- who recently completed rehab for sex addiction -- has been very close with his coach, 28, for some time.

"We have a very, very close friendship," she told the British paper. "He is in great shape. He is a wonderful man. He's very intelligent, very kind and good man."

Asked if they were romantically linked, Parkay said, "I don't want to say anything that might hurt David. I am not going to deny it. I don't know what our relationship means to him."

But Duchovnys lawyer, Stanton "Larry" Stein, told E! News that the London's Daily Mail story was "all lies and deceit.

"Edit Pakay met with me personally before this article came out and told me she never had a sexual or romantic relationship with David," Stein said.

Remember these shocking celeb splits?

Last week, Leoni's rep denied reports that the actress was having a fling with her Manure co-star Billy Bob Thorton.

Duchovny has been married to Leoni since 1997. They have two children, daughter Madelaine West, 9, and son Kyd, 6.
