Marriage controversies
Their marriage was never without its issues, however; five years after they tied the knot a video leaked of the pair naked in a hot tub with former Miss Teen USA Kari Ann Peniche.
The video was "a private, consensual moment involving a married couple, shot several years ago, which was never intended to be seen by the public," read a statement from their rep at the time.
"It is a private tape made for only my clients' personal use, and nobody has the right to exploit it. If anyone exploits the tape, they will be violating my clients' rights and will be exposed to significant liability."
Rehab
In 2011 Eric entered rehab weeks after announcing they were expecting their second baby.
"Actor Eric Dane voluntarily checked himself into a treatment facility to help him get off of pain medication that he was prescribed for a sports injury that he suffered over the recent hiatus. He reports back to work this week. Business as usual," his rep said at the time.

Health issues
Eric has also been open about his depression, and in April 2025 he shared that he had been diagnosed with ALS.
ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, is "a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness and paralysis". The disease progresses slowly and can affect anyone, but it is more common in people aged 40-70.
