Rebecca Gayheart has had a change of heart in regards to her divorce from Eric Dane.
According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Gayheart, 53, requested a dismissal on Wednesday, March 5, of the divorce petition she initially filed.
In February 2018, the actress filed for divorce from Dane, 52, after 14 years of marriage. At the time, Gayheart cited irreconcilable differences as the cause of divorce.
She also asked for spousal support and joint legal and physical custody of their two daughters: Billie, 15, and Georgia, 13.
Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart have been candid about their relationship ups and downs over the years. The pair tied the knot in Las Vegas in 2004 and welcomed their first child, daughter Billie, in March 2010. Billie became a big sister the following year when the pair’s second daughter, Georgia, was born. The twosome […]
In the seven years since separating, however, Gayheart and Dane never reached a divorce settlement. Instead, they showed signs of being friendly exes as they worked on coparenting their daughters.
“We’re doing our best. It isn’t easy,” Gayheart told Us Weekly in October 2018. “But we are trying and we are committed.”
More recently, the couple showed no signs of drama when they enjoyed a family vacation throughout Europe.
“This is us, family vacay 2022 🇫🇷🥳❣️#familia #travel #goodtimes #moretocome #eurodanes,” Gayheart wrote via Instagram in August 2022. “A pit stop in Paris! 🇫🇷😘❣️#eurodanes #familyvacation #blessed #thisisus.”
Later in the summer, the family unit enjoyed a fun day closer to home at the Malibu Chili Cook-Off. They also kicked off 2023 with a family vacation to Mexico.
“They are making it easy on me so far,” Gayheart shared with E! News in July 2024 when asked about raising teenagers. “But I should knock on some wood. Do we have any wood anywhere?”
While the actress said she took a break from acting to focus on being the best mom possible for her daughters, Gayheart said she was ready to get back to her Hollywood gigs.
“I took a decade off from working to be home with my kids,” she explained. “They’re like, ‘But what do you do, mom?’ And I’m like, ‘OK, I need to show them what I do.’ I need to work so that they get that they need to work and that women have to get out there and carve out a career and, like, go after it.”
Eric Dane and estranged wife Rebecca Gayheart’s daughters are proving it’s no urban legend that kids grow up to be mini-mes of their parents. Dane, 51, attended the Los Angeles premiere of his upcoming film Bad Boys: Ride or Die alongside his and Gayheart’s two girls, Billie, 12, and Georgia, 10, on Thursday, May 30. […]
Ultimately, one constant in Gayheart’s life has been Dane. Ever since the pair tied the knot in 2004, both Gayheart and the Grey’s Anatomy alum have been in each other’s lives.
“It’s probably one of the least interesting stories in the world,” Dane told Flaunt magazine in 2008 about how he met his wife. “It went basically like this: ‘You wanna go out?’ ‘Yeah, sure.’ Ten months later, we were married.”
Us Weekly has reached out to Dane and Gayheart’s reps for comment. TMZ was first to report the news.
