Anne Heche's relationship with Ellen DeGeneres: A look back
In the wake of Anne Heche's horrific car crash, which destroyed a home and left the actress with severe burns, there is resumed interest in her relationship with Ellen DeGeneres. The pair dated from 1997 through 2000, and did not initially go public with their romance. Their seemingly solid relationship, bolstered by talks of having children together and getting married if the Civil Unions law passed in Vermont, came to an unexpected ending, according to friends.
