Eric Dane Sheds Light on His Relationship with Wife Rebecca Gayheart Following Their Reconciliation
Eric Dane opened up about his reconciled relationship with wife Rebecca Gayheart during an interview with Good Morning America's Diane Sawyer on June 16
"We have managed to become better friends and better parents. And she is probably my biggest champion, my most stalwart supporter, and I lean on her," he said
Gayheart filed for divorce in 2018, but requested to dismiss the filing in March — just one month before Dane publicly revealed his ALS diagnosisEric Dane is opening up about his recent reconciliation with his wife.
In a June 16 interview with Good Morning America's Diane Sawyer, Dane got candid about his relationship with wife Rebecca Gayheart. The Beverly Hills, 90210 actress filed for divorce in February 2018, though she and the Euphoria star apparently reconciled recently in March 2025.
Sawyer, 79, asked Dane, 52, who he calls when he needs support, and the actor immediately mentioned Gayheart, 53.
"I call Rebecca. I talk to her every day," Dane said, as he began to tear up. "We have managed to become better friends and better parents. And she is probably my biggest champion, my most stalwart supporter, and I lean on her."
The pair met in 2003 and wed less than a year later in Las Vegas. Dane and Gayheart welcomed their first child, daughter Billie Beatrice, in 2010, and another daughter, Georgia Geraldine, in 2011.
Gayheart's divorce filing in 2018 cited "irreconcilable differences," though it didn't list a separation date. The document requested joint legal and physical custody of both daughters, as well as spousal support.
"After 14 years together we have decided that ending our marriage is the best decision for our family," Dane said in a statement to PEOPLE at the time. "We will continue our friendship and work as a team to co-parent our two beautiful girls as they are the most important thing in the world to us. We kindly ask that you respect our privacy during this time as we navigate the next phase of our lives."
Despite their separation, the pair seemed to remain on good terms, occasionally voicing support for each other and amicably co-parenting, including a family vacation to France in 2022.
In February 2025, Dane was spotted out with actress Priya Jain, prompting romance rumors, though just one month later, Gayheart formally requested to dismiss her divorce filing from Dane.

"I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter," he told PEOPLE. 'I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time.'
One day before Dane's announcement, Gayheart shared a quick relationship update with E! News. "We are best of friends. We are really close," she said.

Erin Moriarty of 'The Boys' has Graves' disease: 'Felt the light coming back on' with treatment
Erin Moriarty, the outspoken and righteous Starlight of "The Boys," is speaking out about her health, specifically her ongoing battle with an autoimmune disorder. Moriarty, 30, revealed to her Instagram followers on Friday that she was diagnosed last month with Graves' disease, an autoimmune disorder in which the thyroid becomes overactive. In the caption of her post, Moriarty expresses the positive effects of treatment but reveals the disorder could have been identified earlier "if I hadn't chalked it all up to stress and fatigue." The "Jessica Jones" and "One Life to Live" actor shared a carousel of photos including text message exchanges with her parents. In one screenshot Moriarty tells her mother "I really need relief" as she details her discomfort. "I can't live like this forever," she writes. "It's not just fatigue — it's an ineffable, system wide cry for help and I don't know how long I can remain in this state," Moriarty continues in her text to her mother.

According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms of Graves' disease can include "feeling nervous or irritable," slight tremors of the hands or fingers, weight loss, menstrual changes and heart palpitations. Wendy Williams, Daisy Ridley and Missy Elliott have also spoken publicly about living with Graves' disease. "Within 24 hours of beginning treatment, I felt the light coming back on," Moriarty said in her caption. "It's been increasing in strength ever since." She did not reveal the details of her treatment, but Moriarty told her father in a text message, "I already feel a world of a difference" and that she has since been thinking, "'Damn, this is how I'm supposed to feel? I've been missing out!'"

Starlight, who possesses the power to fly and manipulate light. Without spoiling too much about the series, it now seems Moriarty knows what it's like to lose her spark on- and off-screen — and how to get it back. She concluded her post by urging followers to listen to their bodies and seek medical attention when something feels off. "If [your light] is dimming, even slightly, go get checked," she said. "Don't 'suck it up' and transcend suffering; you deserve to be comfy. S—'s hard enough as is." Sign up for Screen Gab, a free newsletter about the TV and movies everyone's talking about from the L.A.
