Anne Heche, 53, of ‘Six Days, Seven Nights,’ and Peter Thomas Roth, 64, made news when they were photographed holding hands at a Galerie magazine event for the opening from the House of Art and Design Gallery in early August 2021. Additionally, the couple was captured kissing in front of the cameras during New York Fashion Week events in September 2021. According to a source who spoke to US Weekly at the time, “Peter and Anne met through mutual friends in the Hamptons and had been dating for about eight weeks.
But at the time, a rep for Heche told Page Six, “Anne is single and loves meeting new people!” Reportedly, Heche was involved in a terrible car accident on August 5 that left her with severe burns. Heche rammed her car into a house, starting a fire, burning herself badly, and eventually being taken to the hospital. Thomas Jane, Heche’s ex-boyfriend and former co-star, couldn’t stop to pay his respects to Heche. Heche is “stable and should be fine”, Jane told the Daily Mail.
Even though Anne and I are no longer together, today’s terrible news has been devastating to me and everyone who cares about her. Anne and her two sons have my deepest sympathy. Currently stable and expected to survive, Anne. Anne, who is one of the true talents of her time, is in my thoughts and prayers. God is good no one else was hurt,” Thomas Jane told the Daily Mail. Heche and Jane had been friends for over a decade and had co-starred as a divorced couple on the HBO series “Hung” with Jane. The couple went public with their relationship towards the end of 2019.
Heche rose to prominence in the late 1990s when she went public with her relationship with famous talk show host Ellen DeGeneres. At the time, they were one of the few openly gay couples in Hollywood. The couple dated from 1997 to 2000, spending about three and a half years together.
Heche reportedly ended her relationship with DeGeneres over cameraman Coley Laffoon, whom she met in 2000 while on a comedy tour with DeGeneres, and married on September 1, 2001. Homer, a boy, was born to the former couple. After being married for five and a half years, Laffoon filed for divorce on February 2, 2007. March 4, 2009 marked the finalization of the divorce.
Heche began dating actor James Tupper for ten years after her relationship with Laffoon ended. Heche’s agent announced on December 5, 2008 that the actress was expecting their son, who was both her and her first child.
Anne said in a statement at the time that Tupper and Heche “had a great life together” before their 2018 split. “We give relationships the time they need to grow and adjust. We really care. each other and want to raise our two adorable babies together.
