While Anne Heche took on many roles over the years, her most memorable was that of a mother to her two sons.
Heche first expanded her family in 2002 when she and her ex-husband, Coleman Laffoon, welcomed their son, Homer. The pair ended their marriage in 2007, the same year Heche moved on with James Tupper. The two welcomed their son, Atlas, in 2009 before eventually ending their 10-year relationship in 2018.
Heche later opened up about being a single mother of two young boys. “It’s exactly like they say: girls like to sit and color and they are sweet and they let you comb their hair. Boys — my boys and every other boy I know — are active, active, active,” she told Breezy Mama in 2013. “I play all these things I never thought I would play. Anything with a ball they love. Boys are cuddlers and lovers though. When you tire them out, they love to sit and cuddle their mama. That’s the blessing of boys.”
In August 2022, Us Weekly confirmed that the Return to Paradise star was in a car crash. At the time, the Los Angeles Police Department stated that a driver of a Mini Cooper ran off the road when it entered an intersection. The vehicle then collided with a house and was engulfed in flames.
She fell into a coma before dying at age 53 on August 12, 2022.
