Actress ANNE HECHE has separated from her husband of five years COLEMAN LAFFOON to be with her MEN IN TREES co-star JAMES TUPPER, according to media reports in the US.

Heche, 37, wed movie cameraman Laffoon in 2001 – a year after ending her longterm relationship with chat show host ELLEN DeGENERES.

Her publicist LISA KASTELER says, “They have requested that they be allowed their privacy at this time.”

Kasteler refused to comment on her client’s love life any further, but a spokesperson for Tupper confirms he split from his wife in November.

Heche and Tupper are currently shooting Men in Trees together in Vancouver, Canada. She plays a New York author, while he plays a rugged Alaskan ranger.
