Rebecca Gayheart has spoken in public for the first time since her husband, actor Eric Dane, passed away at the age of 53 after a brave battle with ALS.
On social media, she was seen expressing deep gratitude for the outpouring of support and kindness that has come in her direction from fans. She and her loved ones are more than blown away by the love during this difficult time, and there are no words to express her appreciation for this matter.

Gayheart and Dane shared a more complex but enduring bond. Although they had separated in 2018 after so many years of marriage, she withdrew her divorce filing in 2025 shortly before Dane had revealed more details about his illness.

In her message, Gayheart was seen reflecting on the emotional difficulty of losing someone so close in her life, but also emphasized the ability to show strength for the sake of her children.
