Rebecca Gayheart is lifting the lid from her “super complicated” relationship with estranged husband Eric Dane amid his ALS diagnosis.

The 54-year-old actress and the Grey’s Anatomy actor, who parted ways in February 2018 after 14 years of marriage, have appeared to have mended the dynamic between them after Dane’s health scare.

It is pertinent to mention that the pair tied the knot in 2004 and welcomed two daughters. However, after a bumpy relationship, they filed for divorce in 2018 but they never proceeded with the legal separation.

Earlier in March 2025, in light of Dane’s ALS diagnosis, Gayheart dismissed the filing and said after a month of dismissal request that she was “grateful” to have a “loving family” as they navigate the “next chapter.”

Now, sharing insights into her “complicated” dynamic with Dane, she said on Broad Ideas with Rachel Bilson & Olivia Allen, “I am definitely trying to show [my daughters] that we show up for people no matter what. And he is our family, he is your father. We show up and we try to do it with some dignity and some grace and just get through it, and that we will get through it the best we can.”

“I mean, it’s super complicated for me,” she added.

She further confirmed that she and Dane have “been separated for eight years,” however, their daughters, Billie, 15, and Georgia, 13, live with her “100% of the time.”

 Kris Jenner is explaining why she forgives her daughters’ exes.

Kris, 70, is known for treating her daughters’ exes well, even after their cheating and other scandals.

During her appearance on Jay Shetty’s podcast On Purpose, the momager said, “I fall in love with people, have lives and years spent with their partners or their boyfriends or their husbands.”

She acknowledged that some of these men have “treated [her daughters] badly” but they are “in most cases,” the fathers of her grandkids.

“And I love these men, and that love doesn’t go away when we experience really challenging times with them. It just doesn’t turn off like that for me.”

Kris added: “We don’t need to talk about these things anymore. It’s been done. It’s dealt with. We’ve talked about it. We all know what’s happened. We’ve had it on the show or we’ve had it in our lives. Now it’s time to grow the f— up, be mature.”

Kris also considers her grandkids, who may one day be hurt if she doesn’t treat their dads well.

“What will my grandkids think 20 years from now if their grandmother treated their dad poorly?” she said. “Or I wasn’t loving and kind and compassionate and forgiving?”

She went on to share that she still maintains a good relationship with Khloe’s ex, Tristan, who cheated on her twice despite sharing two kids with her. As well as Kylie’s ex, Travis Scott, with whom the Khy founder shares children Stormi and Aire.

“Tristan comes walking in the back door and [says], ‘Hey Mom, what’s up?’ ” Kris said of the NBA star. “So they’re always around and we embrace them.”

“I’m close to Travis and I love his mom and his dad and his sister and his brother. They’re family to us. And we share celebrations together,” she added. 

The original “Dork Diaries: Tales From a Not So Fabulous Life” was released in 2009 and became an instant bestseller. More than a dozen “Dork Diaries” followed.

They talk to “CBS Mornings” about the new edition, inspiration for the series and the messages they want readers to take away.
