Fri Apr 11 00:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart Dismiss Divorce After 7 Years, Remain “Best Friends”
**Los Angeles, CA** – Actors Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart, known for their roles in *Grey’s Anatomy* and *Beverly Hills, 90210* respectively, have dismissed their divorce petition, seven years after it was initially filed. The couple, who share two daughters, Billie, 15, and Georgia, 13, confirmed they remain close and are committed to co-parenting.
Gayheart exclusively told E! News that they are “best friends” and “great co-parents,” having successfully navigated a formula for maintaining a strong family unit. She emphasized that their marriage, while ending as a legal union, wasn’t a failure, calling it a “huge success” spanning 15 years and resulting in two children. The dismissal of the divorce petition, with Dane’s consent, comes one month after Gayheart filed the paperwork.
While recent family vacations fueled reconciliation rumors, Dane was seen with Priya Jain last November, sparking speculation. Jain subsequently posted images with Dane, including a new tattoo, which were later deleted. Neither Dane nor Jain have commented on their relationship.
Gayheart also revealed that their daughters may follow in their parents’ footsteps into the entertainment industry, with their 15-year-old expressing interest in modeling and acting.
The couple’s relationship has faced challenges in the past, including a widely publicized nude video scandal in 2009. Dane later addressed the incident, stating he had no regrets. The couple initially announced their separation in 2018, citing irreconcilable differences. Despite the legal separation, they consistently maintained a strong co-parenting relationship and remained amicable. This recent dismissal of the divorce petition confirms the enduring strength of their bond, solidifying their commitment to family above all else.
