RSV, short for Respiratory Syncytial Virus, infects the lungs and respiratory tract.

According to the CDC‘Infants and older adults are more likely to develop severe RSV and require hospitalization.’

Duchovny further revealed that West’s RSV fight “was really a nightmare” because he really thought he could “lose her.”

At the time, he was juggling becoming a father for the first time and starring as FBI agent Fox Mulder in his hit series The X-Files.

He credited his then-wife, Téa Leoni, whom he divorced in 2014, for “staying in the hospital with West” while he was on set.

“I would visit after work for a few hours and then go home,” he explained.

Duchovny admitted that he would think about it in the shower about trying to “acclimatize” himself to the “world without” the West.

‘This is a real possibility. I had to think about it and realized I would never get over it. Not that I couldn’t live, but just that life, as it says in the book, would have no meaning or joy,” he told listeners. “I would continue, but I would be a shadow of something and West was fine.”

Although he stated that his daughter recovered well, he “had problems shortly afterward.”

‘I don’t know if the word appeals again, but let her back in. I was so scared,” he admitted.

Ripa said she understood how difficult it felt to fear “getting too attached” after potentially losing a child.

“That makes sense,” the talk show host, 53, responded.

He said the experience inspired him to write, direct and star in his 2023 film Bucky F**king Dent.

“That is the true heart of the story: me as a father and not my father, and not even my mother, and not me as a son, but it is actually about, I would say, me and my daughter,” Duchovny concluded. of the subject.

During the interview, Duchovny also spoke about the end of his 17-year marriage to West’s mother.

“Mark and I got sad when you and Téa got divorced,” Ripa told him. “We felt sad as if we had something personally invested in it, which is so ridiculous.”

“Well, that’s sweet to say, but you know, I’m proud of the way we raised the kids after that and you know, we all stayed very close together in the city and, you know, as a child of a divorce, it was something that I never wanted to do, but of course, you know, I did it and we did it and then just did the best we could,” he replied.

Duchovny added that he has no “regrets” but understands it must have been painful for the two children, West and Kyd, 21.

West eventually followed her parents into show business and began acting in 2018 when she landed a role in The X-Files alongside her father.

Since then, she has appeared in the Netflix series Painkiller and Hulu’s Saint X, as well as the film A Mouthful of Air.
