Anne Heche and James Tucker shack up

Anne Heche and her Men in Trees co-star James Tupper have shacked up in Vancouver after hooking up on set last January. "We are just exploring our relationship and it has been going very well," Tupper told a Vancouver paper. "Where is it going? I don't know. Ask me again in a year." As for living in Canada, the actor says, "Canadians are so respectful, they really leave us alone a lot. We have experienced nothing but generosity and openness." Before heading to their new home in Vancouver to work on the second season of the show, Tupper and Heche spent three and a half months in LA with Heche's 5-year-old son Homer. "He is unbelievable," Tupper says of Homer. "We had a cast baseball game on the weekend and he came off and slugged it over the short stop. He has got a preternatural swing." Tupper insists that he and Heche maintained clear boundaries while they were both in relationships with other people. "In that friendship, we kind of discovered we saw the world in a somewhat similar way," he says. "I think we both made decisions that were based on the relationships we were in." Of Heche, Tupper says, "I wish people could meet her in person. 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."
