Gayheart wrote in a December 2025 essay published by The Cut that her love for Dane was no longer romantic, but 'familial.'Dane recorded the two-part special, which was executive produced in part by Brad Falchuk, in secret.He also said about his wife: 'I think Rebecca was more willing to show up and do her part than I was. 'I don’t have that gene that just makes you wanna keep going regardless of what happens. I’m like, "If there’s a hole in the boat, don’t try to patch the hole." Scuttle the damn thing and find a new one.'The father of two also reflected on losing 'a lot of time' with their kids following their separation.

We separated, but we never got a divorce; we were about to and then we didn't. We haven't lived in the same home for eight years; he's dated other people, I've dated someone.''It's a very complicated relationship, one that's confusing for people,' she acknowledged.Weeks after her husband's death, she took to Instagram to share a montage of photos from throughout their relationship.The caption read: 'There are no words.
