Rebecca Gayheart is clarifying her relationship with Eric Dane.
The “Beverly Hills, 90210” star, who filed for divorce from Dane in 2018 after 14 years of marriage, filed to dismiss the divorce last month, according to E! and People. On Wednesday, she told E! the pair are still the “best of friends.”
“We are really close. We are great co-parents,” she told the outlet at a television screening. “We really figured out the formula to staying a family and I think our kids are benefiting greatly from it, and we are as well.”
When Gayheart, 53, first filed for divorce, the couple shared similar sentiments.
Dane and Gayheart told USA TODAY in a joint statement at the time: “We will continue our friendship and work as a team to co-parent our two beautiful girls as they are the most important thing in the world to us.”
The model, who shares daughters Billie, 15, and Georgia, 13, with the “Grey’s Anatomy” actor, told E! that she still looks at her marriage as a “huge success” despite the couple no longer being together.
“I think it’s important to not look at a relationship that ends as a failure. It’s just a season. It wasn’t a failure,” she continued. “We were married for, I mean, we are still married, but together for 15 years, and we had two beautiful kids. So I think that’s a successful relationship, and that’s how we look at it.”
Eric Dane ALS diagnosis revealed
Gayheart’s comments came a day before the “Euphoria” actor revealed he has been diagnosed with ALS, the rare degenerative disease commonly called Lou Gehrig’s disease.
Dane, 52, revealed he’s been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in an exclusive statement to People magazine.
The award-winning actor said he’s “grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter.”
“I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to (the) set of ‘Euphoria’ next week,” Dane told People. “I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time.”
