Eric Dane, 52, dines with new girlfriend Priya Jain, 27… 6 years after shock Rebecca Gayheart divorce

Eric Dane was spotted on a romantic date night with new girlfriend, Priya Jain, as they grabbed a bite to eat in Los Angeles on Thursday. 

The Grey’s Anatomy alum, 52 — who was first spotted with the actress and model, 27, late last year in November — strolled arm-in-arm with Jain during the lowkey excursion together. 

It comes six years after his shock divorce from Rebecca Gayheart following 14 years of marriage. The former couple co-parent their two teenage daughters: Billie, 14, and Georgia, 13. 

Dane kept it casual wearing a pair of gray sweatpants as well as a printed white shirt. 

The actor layered the ensemble with a brown jacket that was left unʙuттoned at the front and completed the look with a cap placed on top of his head. 

Jain — who stars in the upcoming survival thriller Not Without Hope alongside Zachary Levi — was effortlessly chic in a pair of light blue denim jeans and a dark navy sweater.

The model slipped into a pair of closed-toed, white heels and carried a large white purse over her left shoulder to hold items she needed during the night out. 

Her brunette locks were pulled back into a simple ponytail to prevent loose strands from falling onto her face. 

Eric and Priya cozied up together as they made their way down a sidewalk in the city, and later held a lighthearted conversation inside a restaurant. 

The pair first sparked relationship rumors when they were seen at a celebrity sushi spot in West Hollywood last year in November 2024. 

The two stars held big smiles on their faces as they left the popular eatery and headed to their next destination. 

While Eric and Priya have been spotted on a few occasions, they have yet to publicly comment on their budding romance. 

Priya has starred in a number of projects in the industry, including the TV movie Cruel Intentions (2016) and the miniseries Knock Out (2023). 

According to her IMDB page, the beauty has also taken on roles in six upcoming productions, such as the disaster horror film Deep Water with Aaron Eckhart and Ben Kingsley.

The Euphoria actor’s new relationship comes six years after his split from ex-wife, Rebecca Gayheart. 

He said ‘I do’ to the Scream 2 actress in 2004 until she filed for divorce in 2018 and cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for the split. 

The star also had requested both joint legal and physical custody of their two daughters.

At the time of the separation, Dane issued a statement to People which read: ‘After 14 years together we have decided that ending our marriage is the best decision for our family.’ 

‘We will continue our friendship and work as a team to co-parent our two beautiful girls as they are the most important thing in the world to us.’ 

In 2019, Rebecca opened up about moving on following the divorce and focusing on positively raising their kids.

‘There’s a new normal for me and my family,’ the Jawbreaker actress told People. ‘And it’s taken us a little bit to get that down. Not going to lie, it hasn’t been easy.’

‘But I think what’s exciting is what’s ahead because there are so many different things that could happen now. I mean, we have so many options, and the good news is my kids are happy and healthy.’

Gayheart added, ‘My ex Eric and I, we are friends and we are doing our best to co-parent and maintain a family, even though we’re not married…’ 

‘And I think we’re doing a pretty good job of it. Life is just good. There are so many exciting things happening.’ 

Back in 2022, the former couple notably reunited during a lavish European getaway with their daughters. 

The following year, Eric and Rebecca were also seen holding hands during a family vacation in Cabo — which had sparked reconciliation rumors at the time.  

Dane is also known for his roles in projects such as Cal Jacobs in the HBO Max series, Euphoria. The third season of the show is slated to kick off production early this year. 

He has also starred in Burlesque (2010), Bad Boys: Ride Or Die (2024), and Grey’s Anatomy. 

'We will continue our friendship and work as a team to co-parent our two beautiful girls as they are the most important thing in the world to us,' he said in a statement at the time; seen with daughters Billie and Georgia in L.A. in May 2024

He played Dr. Mark Sloan in the medical drama from season three until he was written out of the show after the eighth season. 

While on the Armchair Expert podcast in June 2024, Eric talked about the reasoning behind his departure and said, ‘I didn’t leave so much as I think I was let go.’ 

When questioned about his past drug and alcohol addiction, Dane admitted, ‘I was struggling. They didn’t let me go because of that, although it definitely didn’t help.’

‘I was starting to become, as most of these actors who have spent significant time on the show, you start to become very expensive for the network.’ 

He added, ‘And the network knows that the show is going to do what it’s going to do irrespective of who they keep on it — as long as they have their Grey they were fine.’

Dane had been sober leading up to being cast on Grey’s Anatomy, but relapsed back in 2007 at the time of the Writer’s Guild of America strike. 

‘I wasn’t the same guy they had hired, so I had understood when I was let go and [show creator] Shonda Rhimes was really great,’ the actor explained. ‘She protected us fiercely. She protected us publicly, she protected us privately.’

Dane is also known for his roles in projects such as Cal Jacobs in the HBO Max series, Euphoria. The third season of the show is slated to kick off production early this year; seen in 2022 in Denver

‘I love Shonda Rhimes and she protected me but I was probably fired. It wasn’t ceremoniously like, “You’re fired,” it was just like, “You’re not coming back.”‘ 

The father-of-two continued, ‘If you take the whole eight years I was on Grey’s Anatomy, I was f**ked up longer than I was sober and that was when things started going sideways for me.’ 

He also attributed to his sudden rise to fame as the cause for him to step away from being sober. 

‘It was overwhelming, and I think I just wanted to pretend that it wasn’t and that I was comfortable with it. Act like you’ve been there, but you haven’t been there.’
