Grey’s Anatomy Star Eric Dane Reveals ALS Diagnosis

April 10, 2024 – Grey’s Anatomy and Euphoria actor Eric Dane, 52, has shared that he has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In an exclusive interview with People, Dane expressed gratitude for his family’s support as they face this challenge together.

The announcement follows a significant personal development—just one month earlier, his wife, actress Rebecca Gayheart, withdrew their divorce petition, which had been filed in 2017. The couple, married since 2004, share two daughters, Billie, 15, and Georgia, 13. Court documents obtained by TMZ confirmed the dismissal of the divorce proceedings.

Despite his diagnosis, Dane remains optimistic about his career, telling People he feels “fortunate” to continue working. He is set to return to the Euphoria set soon. The actor also requested privacy for his family during this time.

The day before his announcement, Gayheart opened up about their relationship at the premiere of The Carters: Hurts to Love You. She emphasized their strong bond, calling them “best of friends” and dedicated co-parents.

“A relationship ending doesn’t mean it failed,” she told E! News. “We were together for 15 years, raised two amazing kids, and that’s a success.”

The couple first sparked reconciliation rumors in January 2023 when they were seen holding hands in public. Now, as they reunite, they face this new challenge together as a family.

Dane’s diagnosis brings attention to ALS, a progressive neurodegenerative disease. Fans and co-stars have since rallied around him with messages of support.
