Summary

Rebecca Gayheart marked a significant milestone as her daughter Georgia graduated from middle school on June 6. This celebration occurred just three months after the passing of Georgia's father and Gayheart's husband, Eric Dane, who died on February 19 following a battle with ALS.
Gayheart shared her pride on Instagram, posting a photo of Georgia receiving a sunflower on stage. She commended her 14-year-old daughter's "tenacity, grit and grace" throughout an "incredibly difficult year," welcoming her to high school and celebrating her beach volleyball MVP award.
Friends of the couple, including Ellen Pompeo and Alyssa Milano, offered congratulations to Georgia in the comments. Dane, who publicly disclosed his ALS diagnosis in April 2025, passed away surrounded by his family. Gayheart had previously dismissed divorce proceedings in March 2025, remaining a caregiver for Dane.
In March, Gayheart expressed gratitude for the support received from friends and the community, telling Variety that people had been "holding me and the girls up." She reflected on the kindness shown during their challenging times.
