Anne Heche has said she finds it a lot easier to film love scenes with Men in Trees co-star James Tupper now that their real-life relationship is out in the open.

Anne and James left their respective spouses at the end of last year but didn’t confirm they were seeing each other until March.

Anne told Extra recently: “We’re so much more comfortable now that our feelings are exposed and everybody knows about them.”

“[Love scenes] are less challenging [now]… Usually when you’re doing a love scene with somebody you’re not in love with, it’s like you kiss and you kiss and then you think, ‘Oh, great.’ And then they yell,’Cut,’ and you just split apart right away and act like you don’t really like the person.”

“When they yell, ‘Cut,’ we just lay there and wait for the next take to go!”
