"He's not gone. He's still here. You can still talk to him. He's with you, even though he's not here physically. He's with you in spirit and soul."
"It really made him hopeful. ... He was really emotional about it - we all were, and it was just such a gift. His voice was such [a significant part of his identity]."
Rebecca Gayheart, 54, attended the premiere of "The Drama" with her children Billie, 16, and Georgia, 14, marking their first public outing following Eric Dane's death on February 19 at age 53. Dane died less than a year after his ALS diagnosis. Gayheart and Dane, who married in 2004 and separated in 2018 but never divorced, continued co-parenting their daughters. Gayheart described grief as complex and wave-like, noting her daughters are devastated. She emphasizes to them that Dane remains present spiritually. During his illness, Dane used an AI-generated voice created by ElevenLabs to communicate, which brought hope and emotional comfort to the family as ALS affected his ability to speak.
