How Rebecca Gayheart overcame Brett Ratner, vehicular manslaughter, and THAT nude video to find love and loss with Eric Dane

Rebecca Gayheart, who was in the movie “Jawbreaker,” met her ex-husband, actor Eric Dane, 49, who is known for his roles in “Gray’s Anatomy” and “Euphoria.”

The whole family was seen traveling to Europe together. Gayheart and Dane married in October 2004 and were together for 14 years. In 2018, they said they broke up because they couldn’t resolve their differences. Billie Beatrice Dane is 12 years old and Georgia Dane is 10 years old. During the divorce, Gayheart asked for support for his wife and legal and physical custody of their two daughters. Gayheart and Dane get along well and would make great co-parents.

On Monday, August 15, 2022, four years after the couple split, the family was seen on holiday in France. Gayheart posted photos of their trip on Instagram. She put “This is us, family vacation 2022” in the title of the post. She also used emojis for the French flag, a party, and a heart, and she used hashtags like “Good times” and “Eurodanes.” In the photo, the “Euphoria” actor stands in front of the rest of his family with his arms wide open and a smile on his face. Georgia, Billie and Gayheart can be seen in the background as the family walks down a street in France. Dane said in 2019 that he and Gayheart are friends: “We have two children. It’s not first-class… it doesn’t have to be.” Gayheart said it was “difficult” for them to share parenthood, so she had to do a lot of things on her own, telling him, “I raised my kids ‘just about alone’. With the pandemic and people pulling away from each other, it’s been tough. But they’ve been here with me, which was great. They have been in the same place for a long time.”

They have come a long way since they were together. Gayheart used to be with Brett Ratner, a director and producer accused of sexual harassment by six women. When Gayheart moved to New York City in 1986, she met Ratner, who was 17 at the time. Gayheart’s first role was in a student short film directed by Ratner. The two had a relationship for 13 years. Ratner proposed to her in 1997.

In 2001, Gayheart was involved in a car accident that killed Jorge Cruz Jr., who was nine years old. She admitted to vehicular manslaughter on November 27, 2001 and was given three years’ probation, a one-year driver’s license suspension, a $2,800 fine, and 750 hours of community service. Ratner was with her when she went to court. Later, the two broke up for reasons that were never explained.

Dane, who was in the movie “Euphoria”, has suffered from severe depression and substance abuse. “It’s a very serious matter,” Dane told TODAY in 2017 when he was on the show. “I felt very confused because I didn’t know why I was sad, but it’s real. And that was the scary part: When you wake up and think, “I don’t want to get out of bed.”

In 2009, a shady video of Dane and Gayheart in a naked bathtub with former Miss US Teen Kari Ann Peniche was leaked and posted to the Gawker site, which no longer exists. The star of “Euphoria” did not speak about the band publicly for a long time. During an interview in 2014, he broke his silence, saying it was his “only regret”. He told People: “We’ve all made mistakes. The only thing I regret is that Rebecca, the person I love most, got caught up in them.”

In a statement to E! When they broke up, they said, “We will remain friends and work together to raise our two beautiful daughters, who are the most important thing in the world to us.”

Dane spoke to Glamor about the leaked video, saying: “I often think about the answer I gave. And now that we can see, was it a mistake? Not even close. Three adults who agree, one of whom one is my wife? Nothing I did was wrong. Most likely I was talking about the drug use in the video. Did I say something wrong? Again, I don’t think I was always breaking the law and making people bad.

He also said, “There were only three of us in the bath.” Dane’s attorney, Marty Singer, said at the time that it was “not a sex tape” and that it was “a private moment between a married couple, recorded several years ago, that was never intended for the public to see.”

Even after they broke up, the two were seen on vacation together. Gayheart’s Instagram handle still has Dane’s last name. Before Dane and Gayheart get back to work on their own projects, the vacation was probably a nice break for them. Gayheart is said to be gearing up for the upcoming “Urban Legend” movie, which is in the pre-production stage, while Dane already has four movies in the pipeline.
