Men in Trees stars’ Anne Heche and boyfriend James Tupper are expecting their first child together.  Her rep has confirmed the news:  “They are thrilled”

They met on the set of Men in Trees in 2006, but both were married to others at the time.  Last year, James told the Vancouver Sun:

“In that friendship, we kind of discovered we saw the world in a somewhat similar way,” Tupper, who was also married at the time, told the Vancouver Sun last year. “I think we both made decisions that were based on the relationships we were in.”

“I wish people could meet her in person,” Tupper told the Sun of Heche, with whom he shares a home in Vancouver. “She has such a sparkle and such a love for people, and she works so hard. She is so dedicated to all the good things.”

Anne told Extra last year:

“We’re so much more comfortable now that our feelings are exposed and everybody knows about them,”

Anne has a six year old boy, Homer Heche Laffoon with her ex-husband Coley Laffoon.  James has appeared recently on Samantha, Who?
