Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart’s relationship wasn’t always smooth sailing, but their daughters had always been their guiding light.
The pair tied the knot in 2004 and expanded their family in March 2010 with the birth of daughter Billie. Their second daughter, Georgia, was born in December 2011.
Gayheart filed for divorce in February 2018, but after seven years of separation, the actress filed to dismiss her petition in April 2025.
That same month, Dane announced he had been diagnosed with ALS and was leaning on Gayheart and their daughters for support. “I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter,” the Grey’s Anatomy star said in a statement at the time. (ALS is defined as a nervous system disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, according to the Mayo Clinic.)
Dane died at age 53 in February 2026.
