Eric Dane's alleged girlfriend was ‘blindsided' by his red carpet debut with Janell Shirtcliff
Eric Dane's alleged girlfriend, Priya Jain, was 'blindsided' by his red carpet debut with Janell Shirtcliff, Page Six has exclusively learned.
'They never broke up,' a source told Page Six on Thursday.
The actor, 52, brought Shirtcliff to Wednesday's Los Angeles premiere of his new series, Countdown, with a source claiming to Entertainment Tonight that 'the two have been in an on-and-off relationship for over three years and care deeply for each other.'
However, Page Six is told it was the first time Jain, 27, had ever heard of the director, 41.
Our source said Jain, who has been photographed with Dane multiple times, met him last summer and that they became 'exclusive' in November 2024 — right before he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
He announced his diagnosis in April.
According to our source, Jain was 'devastated by the diagnosis' but stood by the Grey's Anatomy star's side.
Interestingly, ET's source claimed that 'Eric asked Janell to be there for him during this time, and she wanted to show up for him.'
It is understood told that since Jain and Dane met, she has spent almost every night at his house, where she has tons of clothes.
The source added that the actress has even spent time with Dane's kids — daughters Billie, 15, and Georgia, 13 — whom he shares with Rebecca Gayheart.
Gayheart, 53, has since clarified that she and her on-again, off-again husband are 'staying a family' and remain the 'best of friends.'
Not only did Jain and Dane get matching star tattoos late last year, but the Euphoria star also gave her a tattoo with an at-home tattoo gun shortly after, it was claimed.
The source added that the last time they saw each other was this past weekend, while the last time they were photographed together was mid-May.
Reps for Dane, Jain and Shirtcliff did not immediately respond to Page Six's requests for comment.

Debbie Harry, 80, says plastic surgery ‘felt necessary' for her career: ‘Being attractive' is ‘clearly showbiz'
Riding a recent wave of plastic surgery confessionals, Debbie Harry confessed that cosmetic surgery was 'necessary' for her career as an entertainer. 'As far as me having cosmetic surgery, it made me feel better about myself,' the Blondie singer, 80, told Vanity Fair. 'Maybe it made me feel happy, or more confident,' the hitmaker added, explaining that plastic surgery 'was just something that I felt necessary at the time.' 'I wanted to work, and so much of women being attractive, and being a selling point, is clearly showbiz,' she said. 'If you're going to be in the business, be in it.' When asked about the pressure of looking 'good' in the entertainment industry, the 'Heart of Glass' singer also said the topic of cosmetic surgery now comes up at a younger age. 'It's not like I started having cosmetic surgery as a kid in school — I think nowadays a lot of girls are getting cosmetic surgery when they're 10, 11 years old,' she said. 'God bless if it improves their lives and they feel happy.' The golden-haired singer's candid confession comes amid a spate of celebrity plastic surgery tell-alls. On Monday, Khloe Kardashian, 41, took to the comments thread of a reel by Dr. Jonathan Betteridge in which he speculated about what cosmetic procedures and surgeries she might have undergone. The Good American co-founder replied with a detailed list of her procedures, including a nose job and her infamous salmon sperm facials. On June 2, cosmetics mogul Kylie Jenner, 27, shared the exact details of her breast augmentation after a TikTok user requested information on the 'most perfect, natural boob job ever.' The mom of two replied in the comments thread, '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!!' Meanwhile, mom Kris Jenner, 69, took to the comments thread of a June 4 Instagram post by Kylie's surgeon, Dr. Garth Fisher, to share her own experience with him. 'Garth you are a superstar class act!!' Kris commented after the physician gushed via Instagram that he was 'honored to be acknowledged by Kylie.' 'You did my first facelift in 2011… 14 years ago!!! and made it the most amazing experience ever and even gave us access to film so that others could get a peek inside what it's like and not be afraid,' the reality TV star divulged. The momager added, 'You have taken great care of us always and remain such a close and treasured friend!! Such an incredible talent!!" Fans are loving Kris' makeover so much that they're saying she resembles her supermodel daughter Kendall, 29. A rep for the reality icon confirmed to Page Six in May that Dr. Steven Levine of New York was responsible for her youthful look. Also in June, 'Honestly Cavallari' star Kristin Cavallari, 38, took to an Instagram Stories Q&A to share her breast augmentation specs after a fan asked 'What size did you get?' and called her their 'boob-spiration.' 'I was 300 cc before and now I'm 340,' the Uncommon James designer replied. 'Everyone thinks I went a lot bigger but I've just pushed them up a couple of times since getting them done.'

Ellen Pompeo wants help keeping ageing at bay
Ellen Pompeo isn't planning to "keep it 100% natural" as she gets older. The 55-year-old actress is trying to keep the signs of ageing "at bay" and while she does what she can to look after herself, she also boosts her routines with "a little bit of Botox", Morpheus8 treatments and skin peels. She told People magazine: 'Obviously getting older is a privilege, but I definitely make my living on TV with my face. So, I think you can lean into the aging, if you want, or you can fight it. And I think I'm just trying to keep it at bay, you know? "I definitely am not going to say I'm keeping it 100% natural, that's for sure. I definitely have vanity. It's definitely not easy to watch yourself age.' But the Grey's Anatomy star - who has two daughters with husband Chris Ivery - isn't prepared to have filler. She said: 'I don't like it at all. I'm not really into it." Ellen follows a "super-clean" diet because she thinks staying active and watching what she eats are key to how she looks and feels. She said: 'I think diet and exercise is honestly the key. I know everybody says it, but I really do. I'm a pretty regimented person. Very disciplined. My husband says I'm the most disciplined person he knows, which I think is a compliment. 'I'm really quite militant about the way I eat and what I eat." However, she noted her weakness is sweets, but added: "I really try to manage it. I really just try to eat dark chocolate and cherries.' Ellen has to move "all day long", and "pretty much every day" tries to indulge in a sauna and a cold plunge. She said: 'I'll ride my bike from my trailer to the set... "'Even when I travel, I try to look for hotels that have a sauna and a pool. If they don't have a cold plunge, put a little bit of ice water on your face! I think it really tightens up my face, and the endorphin rush also makes me feel great.' The Good American Family actress is proud to be an ambassador for Cindy Crawford's Meaningful Beauty. She said: 'I am old enough to know that Cindy was one of the first women to have a beauty brand. I don't know of any other women in her position that were doing beauty brands back then when it wasn't cool or popular. I'm sure she got more than a few eye rolls. 'I love the serum. That's my hero product from the line, and, I think that's their best product."
