Anne Heche’s Son, 23, Allegedly Fathered Baby With 43-Year-Old Who Claims He’s a ‘Deadbeat Dad’

Homer Laffoon, the 23-year-old son of late actress Anne Heche and her ex-husband Coleman “Coley” Laffoon, allegedly got a 43-year-old woman pregnant six months after his mother’s fatal car crash.

Jessica Lamberto told the Daily Mail in an interview published Wednesday, November 26, that she is the mother to Homer’s 2-year-old son Rocco and that she is seeking child support.

Lamberto claimed that she and Homer — who works as an executive assistant at Los Angeles-based media company John Wells Productions, per his LinkedIn — met online and briefly hung out in 2020 but fell out of touch during the COVID-19 pandemic.

After his mother died following a tragic accident in which she crashed her car into a house, causing it to catch fire, they allegedly reconnected as friends before the relationship became physical and Lamberto learned she was pregnant.

“I already knew he was going through a hard time, and I felt like I didn’t want to put that stress on him,” she told the Mail. “But I was stressed out too, and I was going through it too.” He initially reacted with shock and concern for her well-being before going silent for weeks, she claimed.

“He reached out maybe a couple of weeks after I told him the news,” Lamberto claimed. “He pretty much just flat out told me he had no intention of being in my life or the child’s life if I decided to go through with pregnancy.”

According to Lamberto, Homer was allegedly unavailable the day that Rocco was born in October 2023 and refused to sign the child’s birth certificate. Homer finally met Rocco when he was 2 months old, Lamberto said, but has been mostly out of the picture.

Homer is now being sued over child support by Riverside County, which is asking a judge to order that he must pay $1,013 a month beginning in December, according to court papers obtained by the Mail.

Per Lamberto, Homer’s father Coley said, “If you go through with filing this child support, this is going to make Homer look like a deadbeat. This is going to get out to the public that he’s getting sued for child support and he’s going to look like a deadbeat.”

She told the Mail, “That’s what he is. I’m sorry. That’s the truth. He is being a deadbeat dad. Broken promises and canceling last minute visits and never responding to text messages or calls. I haven’t heard from him in months. Nothing at all.”

“I never wanted any of this,” she said. “It makes me so sad for Rocco. Just be a dad to our son. That’s all I want.”

The late Six Days, Seven Nights star was also mother to 16-year-old son Atlas, whom she shares with James Tupper.
