Anne HecheMen In Trees‘ James Tupper has confirmed that he’s dating co-star Anne Heche.

The couple are thought to have got together earlier this year, shortly after Anne split from her husband Coley Laffoon. As James also separated from his wife Kate late last year, there has been speculation that their romance was to blame for the splits but James insists: “That line was never crossed.”

He added: “I adore [Anne] and I’m hopeful for the future.”

“There’s something really comforting when you can truly connect with someone and be understood.”
