Eric Dane’s public announcement of an ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) diagnosis in April 2025 came just weeks after his wife, Rebecca Gayheart, had filed to dismiss their divorce. The couple who had been separated for seven years never finalized their split as Gayheart chose to remain legally married to the late actor.
As reported by Bored Panda, the Grey’s Anatomy star passed away on February 19, 2026, at the age of 53. His passing came ten months after sharing his diagnosis. Dane and Gayheart share two daughters, Billie and Georgia.
