Eric Dane has a not-so-young girlfriend.
Earlier this week, the Euphoria actor was spotted stepping out in Los Angeles for a date night, but not with his estranged wife Rebecca Gayheart … and not with his rumored opener Priya Jain either! With director Janell Shirtcliff !
In the photos, Janell is clinging to Eric’s arm. He’s wearing a black ensemble while she’s wearing a blazer and oversized loafers. See below):
Wait, what?! Where did this relationship come from?

As we go, Eric and his estranged wife have been in an on-again, off-again situation for years, but called off their divorce earlier this year amid his ALS diagnosis. She told E! News earlier this year:
“We’re the best of friends. We’re very close. We’re great coparents. We’ve really figured out the formula for staying in a family and I think our kids are benefiting a lot from that and so are we.”
All the while, he was spotted on several months with actress Priya Jain, who is half his age!
So what happened? Is Janell just his latest fling? Well, not exactly!
According to Entertainment Tonight they’ve been dating “on-and-off” for three years! A source told the outlet:
“The two have been in an on-again, off-again relationship for over three years and care deeply for each other.”
Wow! And apparently Gray Star’s Anatomy asked her to stand by his side amid his health battle:
“Eric asked Janell to be there for him during this time, and she wanted to show up for him. They are extremely close and mean a lot to each other.”
Looks like it! On Wednesday, they even attended the red carpet premiere of Amazon Prime ‘s Countdown together!
The source stopped:
“Eric is in great spirits and is handling everything with such strength. He is a true warrior.”
Inside! We’re glad he’s keeping his spirits up.
