LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Anne Heche and her husband are separating after five years of marriage, her spokeswoman said Wednesday.

"They have requested that they be allowed their privacy at this time," publicist Lisa Kasteler said in a statement.

Heche, 37, and Coleman Laffoon, a motion picture cameraman, were married in September 2001. The couple have a 4-year-old son, Homer.

They met while working on a documentary about Ellen DeGeneres' return to stand-up comedy.

Heche had a high-profile relationship with DeGeneres for more than three years. They announced their separation in August 2000.

Heche plays a relationship guru who relocates to Alaska in the ABC-TV drama "Men in Trees." Her film credits include "Wag the Dog," "John Q" and "Donnie Brasco."

That kid is SO going to sue their asses.

2. Maybe she got the gay again.

3. I think she saw all the divorces/breakups in "Us" magazine and jumped on a bandwagon again.

4. My brother knows them both and says they've had a very

open arrangement from the start. Maybe too open, or not open enough?

5. Does Coleman like the boys as well?

6. That I can't remember for sure.

But perhaps?

7. She left her husband for her TV co-star...

I've never liked her to begin with, but, after totally taking advantage of Ellen DeGeneres, I think she's an opportunistic creep.

Why is she still working? She's nothing special as an actor....:shrug:

8. Maybe it's the only way she can get work.

Have an affair, while working on a project with your current partner.
