Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart have been together for over the past two decades, navigating both separation and reconcilliation.
The couple first met in the early ’00s, and got married in Las Vegas in October of 2004. Years later, they welcomed their daughter Billie in March of 2010, followed by daughter Georgia in December of 2011.
Over the years, they faced personal struggles, including a personal leaked video scandal in 2009, Eric‘s rehab stint for prescription medication addiction in the summer of 2011, as well as a depression battle years later.
Rebecca filed for divorce in 2018 after 14 years of marriage, and they began co-parenting amid the separation.
They still took family trips together, sparking reconciliation rumors, and by March of 2025, Rebecca asked the court to dismiss the divorce proceedings. A month later, Eric revealed his ALS diagnosis and praised her for staying by his side.
Just this month, Rebecca shared rare comments about their relationship amid his diagnosis, admitting that the situation is “complicated.”
“I don’t know if I’m doing it well or if I’m doing it in the wrong way or the right way. I’m just showing up,” she said. Find out what else said.
