12 Celebrities You Didn’t Know Were in Same-Gender Relationships

Anne Heche

Anne Heche is an American actress, director and screenwriter who had a mediated relationship with Ellen DeGeneres. They broke up in 2000 because DeGeneres wanted to hold hands in public because she was proud of her identity, unlike Heche. DeGeneres told the Los Angeles Times that this was the first time when she had her heart broken.

Heche suffered after this event as well, but she recovered and publicly stated that DeGeneres was the only same-gender partner in her life.
