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

As we’ve been following, Eric and his estranged wife have been in an off-again, on-again situation for years, but called off their divorce earlier this year amid his ALS diagnosis. She told E! News earlier this year:
“We are best of friends. We are really close. We are great coparents. We really figured out the formula to staying a family and I think our kids are benefiting greatly from it and we are as well.”
All the while he’s been spotted across numerous months with actress Priya Jain, who’s half his age!
So what happened? Is Janell just his latest fling? Well, not exactly!
According to Entertainment Tonight, they’ve actually been dating “on-and-off” for three years! A source told the outlet:
“The two have been in an on-and-off relationship for over three years and care deeply for each other.”
Wow! And apparently the Grey’s Anatomy star asked her to stay 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’re extremely close and mean a great deal to one another.”
Seems like it! On Wednesday, they even attended the red carpet premiere of Amazon Prime’s Countdown together!
The source left off:
“Eric has been in such great spirits and is handling everything with such strength. He’s a true warrior.”
Inneresting! We’re glad he’s keeping his spirits up.
