Rebecca Gayheart is opening up about her relationship with Eric Dane, just a month after her surprise move to call off the divorce.
The 53-year-old actress tied the knot with her 52-year-old husband back in 2004, sharing two daughters – Billie Beatrice Dane, 15, and Georgia Geraldine Dane, 13.
Gayheart filed for divorce back in 2018, citing irreconcilable differences, though their divorce was never finalized throughout the seven-year split.
The actress filed to dismiss the divorce back in early March, though they were both linked to other romantic partners recently.
Dane was spotted with 27-year-old Priya Jain back in January, while Gayheart had been linked to Hard Rock Cafe founder Peter Morton, 77.
Gayheart was spotted at a screening of the miniseries The Carters: Hurts To Love You on Wednesday, where she told E! News that they are still ‘best of friends.’

‘We are best of friends. We are really close. We are great coparents,’ she said of Dane at the event.
‘We really figured out the formula to staying a family and I think our kids are benefiting greatly from it and we are as well,’ she added.
The actress didn’t divulge into specifics about their seven year split, but still she refused to look at that time apart as a ‘failure.’
‘I think it’s important to not look at a relationship that ends as a failure. It’s just a season. It wasn’t a failure. It was a huge success,’ she said.
‘We were married for, I mean, we are still married, but together for 15 years and we had two beautiful kids so I think that’s a successful relationship, and that’s how we look at it,’ she said.
Given that the divorce was never finalized over the seven-year split, there were rumors of reconciliation over the years.
They would both be spotted with their kids on family trips with their daughters, though they both had been seeing other people.
Gayheart was first spotted with Peter Morton, 77, back in September 2023, and they were even seen in together in early March 2025 at the Chanel pre-Oscar party, just days before she called off the divorce.

Dane was spotted having a dinner date with Priya Jain, 27, back in November, though neither Dane nor Gayheart have spoken about those relationships.
Gayheart also revealed that her both of her daughters have taken an interest in modeling and acting.
‘They both talk about it, but they’re too young yet,’ Gayheart revealed on the red carpet on Wednesday.
Dane can currently be seen in the miniseries Kabul while Gayheart will next be seen in Nickels with Rob Riggle, Elizabeth Tulloch and Vinessa Shaw.
