Anne Heche, who died in 2022, was the mother of two sons: Homer Heche Laffoon and Atlas Heche Tupper. The Daily Mail reported that her death came six days after a high-impact crash in Los Angeles’ Mar Vista district, where her Mini Clubman struck a residence and caused a fire serious enough to require 59 firefighters. A follow-up report from People on August 5, 2025, outlined the timeline of her family life.Her first son, Homer, was born in 2002 to Anne Heche and her then-husband, Coley Laffoon. Her second son, Atlas, arrived in 2009 during her relationship with James Tupper. Anne Heche, who had often shared family snapshots on social media, spoke warmly about motherhood throughout her life. “Obviously, the miracle of life for a mother is just dumbfounding,” she told People in 2009.“It's so hard to explain how wonderful it is to look in the eyes of a child that you're blessed with,” she added.The same People report confirmed she had been 53 at the time of her death, following a coma caused by the crash. Recently, however, it was her older son making news. Reports indicated that Homer Laffoon’s name surfaced again due to his reported baby mama, Jessica Lamberto, putting him back in the media spotlight.Anne Heche's son, Homer Laffoon accused of avoiding child support and birth certificate:49th Primetime Emmy Awards - Source: GettyA Daily Mail report published on November 26, 2025, stated that Anne Heche’s 23-year-old son, Homer Laffoon, had a secret child with Jessica Lamberto, a woman nearly twice his age. Lamberto, who is 43, accused him of staying out of the child’s life for seven months, refusing to sign the birth certificate, missing the birth, and failing to contribute any child support. “I can't tell you how hurtful that was and how embarrassing that was for me with my mom and my sister and my sister-in-law in the room,” Lamberto said in her exclusive interview with the Daily Mail.Laffoon, the eldest of Anne Heche’s two sons, was born to the actress and cameraman Coleman “Coley” Laffoon, whom Anne Heche married after ending her relationship with Ellen DeGeneres. For the past two years, Homer had been tied up in the aftermath of his mother’s death, including a lengthy probate battle involving creditors and the two heirs: himself and his half-brother Atlas, now 16, whose father is Heche’s Men in Trees co-star James Tupper.Anne Heche's estate also faced a $6 million lawsuit from the owner and tenant of the home destroyed in the fatal crash. Toxicology results showed the actress had cocaine and fentanyl in her system at the time. The Daily Mail report revealed that Homer’s personal situation had become even more complicated following the birth of his son, Rocco, now 2. He was being sued for child support in Riverside County, which sought a court order requiring him to pay $1,013 per month beginning in December.In her interview, Jessica Lamberto described meeting Laffoon online and seeing him several times in 2020 before the pandemic disrupted contact. She said she reached out after learning of Anne Heche's death, offering condolences, which led them to reconnect.“We would just casually text off and on and say hi here and there, and then that was kind of it, we weren't really hanging out. But when his mom unfortunately passed away and all that happened, I reached out to give my condolences. That's when we kind of reconnected,” she explained.Jessica Lamberto said the relationship remained casual, but it eventually became physical, and she learned she was pregnant six months after the crash.Hollywood grieved Anne Heche: Tributes from costars reveal the depth of her impactSAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversations - Screening Of "The Brave" - Source: GettyA People report published on August 5, 2025, noted that Hollywood figures who had crossed paths with Anne Heche shared an outpouring of grief after her death.
