Rebecca Gayheart and Eric Dane navigate trouble in their marriage

The couple’s decision to split in 2018 was not the only trouble that they had to navigate together in their marriage. In 2009, the couple became embroiled in a scandal when a private video in which Rebecca Gayheart, Eric Dane, and Miss Teen USA Kari Ann Peniche were together in a bathtub without their clothes was leaked online. The couple sought legal recourse against the website that spread the video. Gayheart and Dane also released a statement through their representative to say that the release of the video violated their privacy. In 2014, Dane addressed the scandal personally when he spoke to People Magazine and called the incident a "mistake" and a "regret".

The couple also navigated through addiction and mental illness. According to People Magazine, some time after Gayheart and Dane announced that they were expecting their second child, Dane checked into a rehab facility. The actor who became famous as “McSteamy” in Grey’s Anatomy spoke to Fox News Digital about his struggles with addiction. He shared,

“Sometimes you just hang on, you know, understand that this too shall pass. But, I never expected life, no matter what your circumstances are, to be easy all the time. So, I think understanding that, that not everything is going to be a walk in the park has certainly prepared me to put myself in the best position to whether some of the down times which, you know, they come fast and furious. But a lot of the times, all you can do is just hang on and know that its gonna pass. I no longer use substances and alcohol and things of that nature to deal with any of that stuff, good or bad.”

Rebecca Gayheart was extremely supportive of her husband during his struggles with mental illness and addiction. During the period when Dane was dealing with his depression, Gayheart shared a throwback image of the couple in happier times and called her husband her “Monday man crush.”
