The late Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart had a unique bond even after they separated in February 2018. At the time of their split, Dane and Gayheart had been married for 14 years and had welcomed two daughters, Billie, born in March 2010, and Georgia, born in December 2011. The couple stressed in a 2018 statement that "ending our marriage is the best decision for our family." "We will continue our friendship and work as a team to coparent our two beautiful girls as they are the most important thing in the world to us," Dane and Gayheart told Entertainment Tonight in March 2018.
