Final days of Eric Dane revealed by his ex-wife Rebecca Gayheart
In an essay for The Cut in December 2025, Eric Dane's ex-wife, Rebecca Gayheart, revealed, "Eric has 24/7 nurses now. The week is divided into 21 shifts. There are times that shifts aren't covered, so I cover them. When Eric went public, so many people reached out to him and to me to express their support."
She further said, "His friends, family, and co-workers really showed up. It was so loving and kind and generous that people wanted to share their resources and their contacts and their experiences."
For the unversed, Rebecca Gayheart and Eric Dane tied the knot in 2004 and have two daughters. In February 2018, Gayheart filed for divorce after 14 years of marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences". On March 7, 2025, she reportedly filed to dismiss the divorce petition after seven years of separation.
