Rebecca Gayheart Gives Dismissed Divorce Update Amid Eric Dane's Health Crises
Rebecca Gayheart and Eric Dane have decided to keep it in the family and are dismissing their divorce after seven years.
In a recent interview with E! News, the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum said, "We are best friends. We are really close. We are great co-parents." She emphasized they are focused on their daughters Billie, 15, and Georgia, 13. "We really figured out the formula to staying a family and I think our kids are benefiting greatly from it and we are as well."
They are still married in the wake of Dane’s recent ALS diagnosis. He faces a progressive neurodegenerative disease, and Dane is grateful for his family’s support and will continue to work on HBO’s Euphoria with filming for Season 3 starting April 14 as he navigates his new normal.
Gayheart said, “I think it’s important to not look at a relationship that ends as a failure. It’s just a season. It wasn’t a failure. It was a huge success.” She pointed out they were together for 15 years and built a family as proof of their bond.
While the couple has faced public scrutiny, including Dane's past relationship with Priya Jain, with whom he got a matching tattoo. However, Dane and Gayheart's focus remains firmly on their family.
Gayheart revealed that their daughters are exploring interests in modeling and acting. She said she and Dane provide a supportive environment for their children's aspirations, but she noted that the girls were still both too young to firmly pursue such careers.
As they navigate his health problems and their divorce dismissal, Gayheart and Dane are proving that relationships can evolve while still having a foundation of mutual respect and love.
