Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart reunite after ALS diagnosis reshapes their bond
Actor Eric Dane disclosed earlier this year that he has been diagnosed with ALS, a progressive disease impacting the nervous system. Despite separating from his wife Rebecca Gayheart eight years ago, the couple remain close, facing the challenge together as a family. Their two teenage daughters are at the center of their shared focus during this difficult period.
Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart married in 2004 but separated in 2015. Though no longer together, they have maintained a strong bond, especially since Dane’s ALS diagnosis in 2021. Gayheart even dismissed their divorce proceedings in March 2023, choosing to stand by him instead.
The couple’s decision to set aside legal separation reflects their commitment to family. Dane’s diagnosis has brought them closer, with Gayheart playing a key role in his care and their daughters’ well-being. Their story highlights how shared challenges can reshape relationships, even years after separation.
