I can’t imagine being with anyone other than her,” Portia argued. Ellen responded by saying, “We finish each other’s sentences — no, sandwiches — while thinking and saying the same thing. We are in a smooth rhythm right now.”
After Anne passed away, Ellen posted a message of condolences on her Instagram story. It read: “It’s a depressing day. All my love goes out to Anne’s children, family and friends.” From 1997 to 2000, Anne and Ellen dated. Heche’s bio is said to cost around $750 following her tragic death.
