It appears Rebecca Gayheart has subtly addressed her husband Eric Dane’s recent ALS diagnosis.

Gayheart, 53, shared a message about “the real luxuries in life” via Instagram Stories on Friday, April 11.

The list, which appeared to be taken from an unidentified book, listed: “Time, health, a quiet mind, slow mornings, ability to travel, rest without guilt, a good night’s sleep, calm and ‘boring’ days, meaningful conversations, home-cooked meals, people you love, people who love you back.”

Gayheart’s social media message comes hours after Dane, 52, announced on Thursday, April 10, that he had been diagnosed with ALS, or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

“I have been diagnosed with ALS. I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter,” he said in a statement shared with People. “I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to set of Euphoria next week. I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time.”

Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayhearts Daughter Billie Is Her Lookalike at the Bad Boys Ride or Die Premiere

Eric Dane and estranged wife Rebecca Gayheart’s daughters are proving it’s no urban legend that kids grow up to be mini-mes of their parents. Dane, 51, attended the Los Angeles premiere of his upcoming film Bad Boys: Ride or Die alongside his and Gayheart’s two girls, Billie, 12, and Georgia, 10, on Thursday, May 30. […]

Gayheart and Dane married in 2004 and share two daughters, Billie, 15, and Georgia, 13. After 14 years of marriage, Gayheart filed for divorce from in 2018, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split. They were separated for seven years before Gayheart filed to dismiss the divorce on Thursday — hours before news of Dane’s illness went public.

“We are best of friends. We are really close. We are great coparents,” Gayheart told E! News on Wednesday, April 9. “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.”

Neither Gayheart nor Dane have offered more details about when or if they rekindled their romantic relationship.

“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. It was a huge success,” she continued in the same interview. “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.”

Gayheart previously spoke with Us Weekly exclusively about coparenting their daughters amid the separation.

“We’re doing our best,” she said in October 2018. “It isn’t easy.”

Gayheart further explained that she was “committed” to coparenting, detailing what makes it the most challenging.

“I think that as a female you need to be able to always take care of yourself and never depend on a man,” she said at the time. “I’m going back to work and I think it’s partly because I want my daughters to see me work. I took some time off to have my kids.”
