Eric Dane, who famously bathed with 2 women, now appears tangled up with 3
US actor Eric Dane and filmmaker Janell Shirtcliff attend Prime Video's 'Countdown' premiere at the Harmony Gold theatre in Los Angeles on June 18, 2025. Photo: AFP Eric Dane and filmmaker Janell Shirtcliff looked to be in full couple mode Wednesday (June 18) at the premiere of Prime Video's Countdown , a new series he stars in with Jensen Ackles. Hands were held; smiles and admiring glances were exchanged. He was definitely not with Rebecca Gayheart, whom he married in October 2004 and just said – on national news, no less – is the person he reaches out to daily for 'stalwart' support. Nope, even though Gayheart in early March requested the dismissal, without prejudice, of the 2018 divorce petition she had filed against Dane. Dane revealed in April that he had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, aka ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease. Earlier last week, he revealed that he had lost function in his right arm due to the neuromuscular disease and felt his left arm failing. So who's dating whom? Dane's relationship status is a bit fuzzy. The Grey's Anatomy alum, 52, has been 'in an on-and-off relationship' with Shirtcliff for more than three years, Entertainment Tonight reported Wednesday. The two 'care deeply for each other,' the outlet said, citing a source who added, 'Eric asked Janell to be there for him during this time, and she wanted to show up for him.' Shirtcliff, who is a photographer and director, is in preproduction on the film Generation Angst and postproduction on the horror flick Triton , according to IMDb. But – Dane's alleged girlfriend, actor Priya Jain, 27, was 'blindsided' by his appearance at the event with Shirtcliff, 41, a source told Page Six on Thursday. Jain and Dane met last summer and became 'exclusive' in November 2024, the source said. 'They never broke up.' The two have been photographed arm-in-arm in public and have matching tattoos, and she has spent 'almost every night' at his house since they coupled up, Page Six said. They reportedly were together last weekend. This three-way confusion is a tiny bit reminiscent of Dane and Gayheart's nude 2009 bathtub video with actor Kari Ann Peniche, which Dane discussed in 2019 with Glamour. In the leaked video, the three could be seen bathing together naked – not having sex – and discussing their potential porn names about 15 years into the Gayheart-Dane marriage. 'I don't necessarily think I was breaking any laws and corrupting anybody. We were just three people taking a bath,' he told the magazine. He added, referring at the time to the entirety of his past – including the bathtub video and his addiction to prescribed painkillers – 'I have no regrets nor do I make any apologies for my life experience. It's my life experience and I am at peace with all of it.' As for Gayheart, she and Dane remain estranged as husband and wife even though she called off the divorce and they are in frequent contact as co-parents of their two daughters. 'I call Rebecca. I talk to her every day,' Dane said on a recent episode of Good Morning America , fighting back tears as he talked about battling ALS. 'We have managed to become better friends and better parents. And she is probably my biggest champion, my most stalwart supporter, and I lean on her.' – Los Angeles Times/Tribune News Service

Eric Dane Juggles Relationships With 3 Women Amid ALS Battle: All About Ex-Wife, GF and Mystery Woman
Euphoria star Eric Dane made headlines this week after showing up at the Countdown premiere with filmmaker Janell Shirtcliff. The two were seen holding hands and exchanging smiles at the event, sparking questions about Dane's current relationship status. The outing came just months after Dane shared emotional comments about his estranged wife, actress Rebecca Gayheart. To complicate things further, a third woman, Priya Jain, who has reportedly been dating Dane since 2024, was said to be blindsided by the public appearance with Shirtcliff. Eric Dane has reportedly been in an on-and-off relationship with director and photographer Janell Shirtcliff for over three years. According to Entertainment Tonight, the two care deeply for each other. A source told the outlet, 'Eric asked Janell to be there for him during this time, and she wanted to show up for him.' Shirtcliff is currently working on two films, Generation Angst (in pre-production) and Triton (in post-production), according to her IMDb profile. Her support seems to have taken on new meaning since Dane revealed in April that he had been diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Is Priya Jain still in the picture? But Shirtcliff isn't the only woman linked to Dane. Priya Jain, a 27-year-old actress, reportedly started dating Dane in summer 2024, and they became exclusive in November. A Page Six source claimed, 'They never broke up.' Jain and Dane were seen together as recently as last weekend, and she has reportedly spent almost every night at his house. The pair even have matching tattoos. According to the source, Jain was 'blindsided' by Dane's public appearance with Shirtcliff. Dane also maintains a strong bond with his estranged wife, Rebecca Gayheart, whom he married in 2004. She filed for divorce in 2018 but requested a dismissal of the petition in March 2025, without prejudice, meaning she can refile later. Despite their complicated past, including a widely publicized 2009 leaked bathtub video, Dane spoke warmly about Gayheart during his recent Good Morning America appearance. 'I call Rebecca. I talk to her every day,' he said, while fighting back tears. 'She is probably my biggest champion, my most stalwart supporter, and I lean on her.' While Dane and Gayheart continue to co-parent their daughters and stay emotionally close, his relationship with Shirtcliff seems to be rekindled, at least publicly. Meanwhile, Jain's camp insists there was no breakup and that their relationship was still ongoing, making Dane's love life anything but clear. For now, it seems Dane is leaning on those closest to him as he faces his ALS diagnosis. Whether he is officially dating Shirtcliff or Jain remains uncertain, but both women, along with Gayheart, appear to be part of his life in different ways.
