Eric Dane’s widow, Rebecca Gayheart, moves late actor’s belongings out Johnny Depp’s LA home
Rebecca Gayheart moved Eric Dane’s belongings out of Johnny Depp’s LA home, where the late actor had been living before he died of ALS.
Earlier this week, the actress, 54, was photographed carrying a number of items, including a box labeled “Eric Yearbooks Kids Photos.”
She was also pictured carrying a guitar.
Gayheart filed for divorce from Dane in February 2018 after 14 years of marriage, but withdrew the petition last year due to the actor’s amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis. They shared two daughters, Billie, who turned 16 days after her father’s death, and Georgia, 14.
Page Six exclusively reported in February that the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star, 62, had quietly stepped up to help his old pal by offering him a “pay-what-you-can arrangement.”
“Eric [had] one less thing to worry about,” an insider told Page Six last month. He was “living basically rent-free in one of the homes Johnny owns above the Sunset Strip. He told Eric to pay whatever he could — or couldn’t — for rent.”
The “Grey’s Anatomy” alum’s death at 53 was confirmed in a statement on Feb. 19 — less than one year after he announced his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis.
“With heavy hearts, we share that Eric Dane passed on Thursday afternoon following a courageous battle with ALS,” his family told Page Six in a statement on Feb 26.
“Throughout his journey with ALS, Eric became a passionate advocate for awareness and research, determined to make a difference for others facing the same fight.”
Following his death, friends of the actor set up a GoFundMe to raise money for his daughters.
The “Euphoria” alum’s posthumous memoir, “My Book of Days: A Memoir in Moments,” is set to be released on Nov. 3, with Dane having made “the deliberate decision” to finish the book after being diagnosed with ALS in 2023.
According to a press release, Penguin Random House announced that Dane “wanted his daughters and readers to have these words.”
“Publishing it as planned allows him to continue speaking, in his own voice, with the clarity and courage that defined him,” the press release added.
“He was working on the manuscript right up to the end.”
Alongside his memoir, Dane shared a final public message to his girls on the Netflix series “Famous Last Words.”
In the interview, which was released after he passed, the “Bad Boys: Ride or Die” star addressed the teenagers, noting: “Fight with every ounce of your being and with dignity. When you face challenges, health or otherwise, fight.
“You are my everything. Good night. I love you. Those are my last words,” he said.
