"In addition to the moving message he wrote to his two daughters, the "Grey's Anatomy" alum said he had a special place in his heart for Gayheart, whom he had been separated from since 2018. RELATED: What is ALS, the disease that killed actor Eric Dane? "Well, we still love each other deeply," he told interviewer Brad Falchuk last November on "Famous Last Words," the Netflix documentary series of interviews with notable cultural figures granted on the condition that they will be aired posthumously."
"But there's a lot of love there. I will never, by the time anybody sees this, have fallen in love with another woman as deeply as I fell in love with Rebecca. She's the mother of my children. He recalled meeting Gayheart for the first time and telling her friend, "I'm gonna marry that girl," and being informed that Gayheart would never leave her fiancé, whom she'd been with since they were 15. Somehow, though, the pair's "organic and fortuitous" meeting panned out."
Eric Dane, 53, spoke warmly about estranged wife Rebecca Gayheart in one of his final interviews before dying of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. He said they still loved each other deeply despite separating in 2018 and vowed he would never love another woman as deeply. Dane recalled meeting Gayheart, marrying in 2004 and raising two daughters, Billie (15) and Georgia (14). Gayheart filed for divorce in 2018 but rescinded the petition in March 2025, and she supported Dane and their children during his illness. Dane died less than a year after his diagnosis; his interview aired posthumously.
