Eric Dane’s former partner, Priya Jain, has made a heartfelt gesture by contributing $10,000 to a GoFundMe campaign following the actor’s untimely passing at the age of 53.
Us Weekly confirmed on Tuesday that Jain, who is 28, made her donation to the campaign, which was organized by “Friends of the Dane family.” The listed beneficiary is Dane’s ex-wife, Rebecca Gayheart.
The GoFundMe campaign aims to reach a target of $500,000, and it has already amassed over $450,000 in donations.
After Dane’s death, numerous celebrities have shown their support for his family, including his children Billie, 15, and Georgia, 14, whom he had with Gayheart, now 54.
Among the notable contributors, Hailey Bieber donated $20,000, and “Euphoria” creator Sam Levinson contributed $27,000.
Other donations included $10,000 from director Brad Falchuk, who is married to Gwyneth Paltrow, and the same amount from producer Randall Emmett.
Dane tragically passed away last Thursday “following a courageous battle with ALS,” his family told People via a statement.
“He spent his final days surrounded by dear friends, his devoted wife, and his two beautiful daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world.”
“He will be deeply missed, and lovingly remembered always,” the statement concluded.
Dane first revealed his ALS diagnosis 10 months earlier in April 2025.
Meanwhile, prior to the “Euphoria” star’s death, he reportedly “reconnected” with Jain.
“In the months leading up to Eric’s passing Priya and Eric reconnected their relationship as friends,” an insider told Us Weekly earlier this month.
The source explained that “it was more important for them to remain friends” after their breakup over the summer.
Jain was said to have been taken aback by Dane’s passing.
“Priya didn’t think it would happen this quickly,” they continued, adding that Jain “has so much love” for the “Grey’s Anatomy” alum.
Calling Dane “such a special person,” the source shared that Jain “has a lot of love for his family” and “knows how hard this is for his daughters.”
While Jain is said to be “so sad and devastated,” the source shared that she’s “grateful” Billie and Georgia “exist to keep his memory alive.”
The exes split came as Dane was spotted at the Los Angeles premiere of “Countdown” with director Janell Shirtcliff in June 2025. The move allegedly left Jain “blindsided.”
“They never broke up,” a source told Page Six at the time. Our insider said Jain and the “Brilliant Minds” actor met in the summer of 2024 and became “exclusive” that November.
They were last pictured together in May 2025.
Despite Dane’s romances with both Jain and Shirtcliff, Gayheart called off their divorce in March 2025 amid the his battle with the debilitating condition.
Gayheart later explained that she made the move in order to teach their daughters to be there for family even “when times are at their worst.”
She also clarified that she and Dane hadn’t lived together for eight years.
