Over a decade ago, Jane and Heche met on the set of Showtime dramedy Hung, on which Jane played Ray Drecker, a former high school sports legend turned high school basketball coach who was known for being particularly well-endowed. It was this particular asset that led Ray to pursue a side hustle in male prostitution. Heche played his ex-wife who housed their twin daughters after a fire damaged Ray’s childhood home where they had been living with their dad.

But they were just friends at that point because Heche was dating her Men in Trees co-star James Tupper. Tupper was Heche’s partner after splitting from her husband Coleman “Coley” Laffoon, a cameraman she met on DeGeneres’ stand-up comedy tour. Laffoon and Heche have one son, Homer, who was born in March 2002.

Prior to that relationship, Heche was with DeGeneres from 1997 to 2000. She was then with Laffoon from 2001 to 2007 when she left him for Tupper, according to Entertainment Tonight. Heche and Tupper welcomed son Atlas in March 2009 and were together for over a decade, but they split in 2018, according to E! Online.

Heche Had to Get Her Son’s Approval Before Joining ‘DWTS’

According to an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Heche had to ask her son Homer for his approval before agreeing to compete on Dancing With the Stars, an opportunity that she said she is “blessed” to have.

“I’m feeling like I have a flutter in my heart … it’s better than Red Bull. Really, it’s one of the most delightful challenges I’ve ever been given and certainly one of the most difficult in terms of learning a new craft. It’s been fascinating and wonderful,” said Heche, adding, “I’ve never had a professional dance lesson. I want to be taught by a star! Now I’m being taught by a star and I love it!”

She also said that Homer was very supportive, writing, “Yes, mom! Are you kidding?! Yes, go all the way!”
