Anne Heche’s last love speaks, Mariah’s diva showdown, and more!
Ellen DeGeneres’ high-profile coupledom made big waves, though their relationship ended messily in 2000 and Anne went on to marry a man, Coleman Laffoon, in 2001.
Well, just this May, here on Queerty, I wrote about Anne’s last soulmate, the openly lesbian Ami Goodheart. Anne and Ami were playing things semi-cool, though their Instagram videos made it clear to many (including myself) that they had fallen into a love/Heche relationship.In the midst of Anne’s crisis, Ami was in shock and suffering privately, choosing to keep her silence and stay away from the judgy press.
But the day Anne died, Ami reached out to me and messaged that she wanted to tell me the story of their bond because she trusted me as part of her old NYC family.
She hasn’t yet felt up to doing that–I’ll keep you posted–but the next day, Ami did post something on Instagram: “Anne was there for me in the toughest times…and told me every day how much she loved me, but more importantly, she showed me.
