Anne Heche, 39, and James Tupper, 43, had their first child together over the weekend, a son they named Atlas. Anne also has a 7 year-old son, Homer, with her ex-husband, Coley Laffoon. Anne and Coley had an acrimonious divorce, with accusations flying on both sides. Their divorce was finalized earlier this week with Anne ordered to pay an over half million settlement.
Anne Heche and beau James Tupper welcomed their first child together over the weekend, her rep confirms to Usmagazine.com.
Atlas Heche Tupper weighed in at six pounds, 12 ounces, the rep adds.
Heche finalized her divorce from ex Coley Laffoon — the father of her 7-year-old son, Homer — earlier this week.
“Homer is very excited to be a big brother,” a source tells Us.
Heche exclusively confirmed she was pregnant to Usmagazine.com in December. “They are thrilled,” her rep told Us then.
She and Tupper first met in 2006 on the set of their short-lived ABC drama Men In Trees while Heche was still wed to Laffoon.

The names Homer and Atlas both come from Greek mythology, with Homer attributed as the author of epic poems the Iliad and the Odyssey and Atlas a Greek God who held up the heavens. Homer and Atlas are odd baby names, but there are worse, particularly among celebrity families. Considering that this is Anne Heche we’re talking about she could have picked something much more stigmatizing. Congratulations to Anne and James.
