Estranged wife of Eric Dane shares health update for star
- Rebecca Gayheart, estranged wife of actor Eric Dane, revealed he now receives 24/7 nursing care following his diagnosis with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
- Gayheart successfully fought their insurance company through two appeals to secure full-time care for Dane, who publicly announced his incurable neurodegenerative disorder in April.
- She initially filed for divorce in 2018 but dismissed the petition in March to support Dane and maintain their family unit, which includes their two daughters.
- Gayheart described their relationship as “very complicated” and a “familial love” noting they have been separated for eight years but remain legally married.
- Dane, known for his role in Grey's Anatomy, expressed his intention to continue acting, focusing on ALS-centric roles due to his limited physical mobility but preserved cognitive functions.
