Earlier this month,Anne Heche tragically diedafter acar crash that resulted in a house fire.
“In fact, I haven’t said that yet.
I have not rambled on about her for one single moment for 20 years.”

This, along with interpersonal relationship drama, caused a rift between the former couple.
Heche publicly spoke on DeGeneres briefly during a 2021 episode of her podcast, “Better Together.”
During oneepisode, Heche even detailed an interaction with de Rossi during Heche’s wedding.

“Portia even asked me about Ellen,” Heche confided in her co-host Heather Duffy Boylston.
