Rebecca Gayheart Honors Late Husband Eric Dane's Birthday

Rebecca Gayheart recently marked what would have been her late husband Eric Dane's 54th birthday. Dane, known for his role in "Grey's Anatomy," passed away at the age of 53 on February 19, approximately one year after publicly revealing his diagnosis with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Gayheart, 55, shared a touching tribute on her Instagram Stories, posting a black-and-white photograph of Dane with their two daughters, Billie, 16, and Georgia, 14. The image, set to music, depicted Dane carrying the girls with a warm smile.

Gayheart captioned the photo "Happy heavenly birthday" with an angel wing emoji, later sharing another image of a cake adorned with strawberries. Their elder daughter, Billie, also posted a candid photo of herself with her father on her Instagram Stories, expressing how much she misses him and wishing him a happy birthday. Gayheart recently spoke about how she and her daughters are coping following Dane's death, describing it as a "challenging season" but emphasizing their efforts to stay close. She finds solace in connecting with friends and, most importantly, being with her children.
