James Tupper Pens Emotional Message To Ex Anne Heche On Instagram

On August 12, after it was announced that Anne Heche would be taken off life support, James Tupper posted an understated, but touching, tribute to his former long-time partner. The "Big Little Lies" actor uploaded a photo of Heche to Instagram that was color-washed, and added "love you forever" in the caption, alongside a broken heart emoji. Friends and fans alike flocked to the comment section to offer condolences to Tupper. "I'm so sorry for your loss James ... sending so much love and prayers to you and yours," one follower wrote. "I am so deeply sorry James Anne's such a strong light loving talented powerful human being," another added.

That was not Tupper's only Instagram tribute to his ex. A day after Heche's car crash, the "Grey's Anatomy" actor uploaded a snap of Heche posing with their son, Atlas Heche Tupper. "Thoughts and prayers for this lovely woman, actress and mother tonight anneheche ... we love you," Tupper wrote in the caption.

Although the former couple had a contentious breakup that saw them embroiled in a legal battle, the pair had a lovely start to their relationship. The actors famously met working on the series "Men In Trees," where finding on-set romance came as a surprise to both of them. "It was unexpected," Tupper told Access in 2007. "I'd heard a lot of things about Anne like everybody else and I came up here keeping my mind open and found this wonderful, hardworking, beautiful woman," he added.
