Eric Dane, a well-known actor, is facing a tough battle with ALS, a disease that affects nerve cells and makes it hard to move and breathe. He shared his struggle with Diane Sawyer, talking about how his right hand has stopped working and how he can't swim anymore. Despite this, he's trying to spend as much time as possible with his family, especially his two daughters.
Eric and his wife Rebecca, who married in 2004, have had a complicated relationship. They filed for divorce in 2018, but Rebecca dropped the case just a month before Eric's ALS diagnosis became public. Rebecca explained that they are still close friends and great co-parents, focusing on what's best for their kids.
People were confused when Eric was seen with another woman, Janell Shirtcliff, just days after his interview. A source claimed they had been in an on-and-off relationship for over three years. But Rebecca clarified that their relationship is more about family than romance. She said, "We show up for people no matter what. He is our family, he is your father. "
Rebecca admitted that their situation is "super complicated. " They've been separated for eight years, and the kids live with her full-time. She's trying to be a role model for her daughters, showing them how to handle tough situations with dignity and grace. She also emphasized the importance of self-care, saying, "You also have to show up for yourself. "
Rebecca's main goal is to give her daughters the chance to spend time with their father. She wants them to have no regrets about their relationship with Eric. Despite the challenges, she's trying to stay optimistic and learn from the experience.
