Rebecca Gayheart Details 'Super Complicated' Family Role as Eric Dane's ALS Progresses

She says their teenage daughters live with her full time, with her facilitating time with their father.

Overview

  • Speaking on the Nov. 17 Broad Ideas podcast, Gayheart described a complex family dynamic and stressed teaching her daughters to show up for their dad.
  • She said Billie, 15, and Georgia, 13, live with her 100% of the time, and she is working to ensure they spend meaningful time with Dane.
  • Gayheart noted the girls are receiving professional support and that she is blocking unsolicited messages from adults contacting them on social media.
  • She shared that she recently paused a two-year relationship because her daughters need more of her attention during this period.
  • Dane has lost function in his right arm and now uses a wheelchair, and he continues ALS advocacy with I Am ALS’ Push for Progress; the couple remain legally married after she dismissed her 2018 divorce filing in March 2025.
