Rebecca Gayheart <\/b><\/a>and the late Eric Dane<\/b><\/a>‘s 14-year-old daughter, Georgia, completed her middle school career<\/a> just four months after the Grey’s Anatomy <\/i>alum’s tragic death.<\/p>\n

“Congratulations Georgia!!! You have graduated middle school and survived an incredibly difficult year,” Gayheart, 54, wrote via Instagram<\/span><\/a> on Saturday, June 6, sharing photos from the milestone ceremony. “I am so beyond proud of you – your tenacity, grit and grace has been on full display.”<\/p>\n

She continued, “Welcome to high school – I have no doubt you’re ready. I am so excited for you! Not pictured is your MVP trophy for beach volleyball. Bravo, congratulations and I love you so much \u2665\ufe0f<\/span>.”<\/p>\n

Dane’s former Grey’s Anatomy <\/i>costar Ellen Pompeo <\/b>shared her well wishes for Georgia in the comments section.<\/p>\n

“Congratulations Georgia!!! Well Done,” Pompeo, 56, wrote via Instagram comment. “Your mama’s words are perfect!!!”<\/p>\n

In addition to Georgia, Gayheart and Dane shared 16-year-old daughter Billie. The Euphoria <\/i>actor died in February after a battle with ALS. He was 53.<\/p>\n

“I think they would lead with I’m a reactive person. \u2018My dad was a reactive person,’ [which is] not necessarily a negative connotation,” Dane said in a posthumous Famous Last Words <\/i>interview<\/span><\/a>, predicting what would be said during his kids’ eulogy. “Some of their core memories involve me reacting to something. \u2026 I think that they would say I was pretty tough [and] resilient.”<\/p>\n

He continued at the time, “They would say I was loving and I was really endearing and compassionate and empathetic and trustworthy. I’m a good dad. We did some really great traveling. We went to Europe one year, and there was a time where we were ripping through the French countryside with the kids in the back of this crazy little car we rented.”<\/p>\n

According to Dane, he was hopeful that Billie and Georgia always remembered his tireless support.<\/p>\n

“I think showing up is the No. 1 quality,” the actor said in the interview, which premiered hours after his death. “I haven’t been perfect with that, but I’ve always been there when it mattered. Well, their mother and I are no longer together. We’re still best friends, but we’re not together.”<\/p>\n

Dane and Gayheart were married from 2004 to 2018 before the Jawbreakers <\/i>actress filed for divorce. She ultimately withdrew her petition in 2025 after Dane was diagnosed with ALS.<\/a><\/p>\n

“Just by virtue of the distance and us living in separate homes, there’s a lot of time lost there,” Dane added in Famous Last Words<\/i>. “I made sure that I can be there as much as possible – and certainly when it counts. I’ve shown up to all of Billie’s ballet recitals. I’ve been to many Nutcrackers<\/i>, and I’ll tell you, there’s a couple pieces in there that are beautiful but Jesus, that thing drones on, man. It’s three hours, but I’ve been to all of them.”<\/p>\n
