Grey’s Anatomy star Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart have performed a stunning U-turn and called off their divorce, seven years into the process.
Rebecca filed to dissolve their marriage of 14 years in 2018, but the pair have stayed notably amicable as they raise their daughters Billie, 14, and Georgia, 13.
They dragged their feet on finalizing the split for so long that Rebecca was repeatedly warned her case might be dismissed altogether.
The duo were seen shopping together with their children during the COVID-19 lockdowns, raising further questions about the state of their relationship.
Eric, 52, has been seen on more than one date with a 27-year-old actress in recent months, while Rebecca, 53, was out with a 77-year-old mogul just last week.
However in a mysterious development, Rebecca filed to dismiss her divorce from Eric this Wednesday, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Eric for comment.

Rebecca and Eric were given ‘final notice’ in January that their divorce might be tossed if they neglected to advance the process, according to In Touch Weekly.
Eric was spotted that month strolling arm in arm with an actress called Priya Jain, 27, igniting speculation he had moved on to a new romance.
Priya and Eric first set off a round of relationship rumors this past November when they were glimpsed out on a sushi date in West Hollywood.
Meanwhile, Rebecca was seen last week attending Chanel’s pre-Oscars party in Beverly Hills with restaurant tycoon Peter Morton, 77, a co-founder of Hard Rock Café and the son of the namesake of Morton’s Steakhouse.
Rebecca and Eric tied the knot in 2004, two years before he landed his fan favorite role as Dr. Mark Sloan aka ‘McSteamy’ on Grey’s Anatomy.
They remained together through the scandal that erupted five years into their marriage when a home video leaked of them frolicking naked with a former beauty queen.
Rebecca stood by Eric through various personal problems, including his rehab stay in 2011 to wean himself off the pain medication he had begun taking for an injury.
Six years later in 2017, Eric entered treatment for depression, resulting in a filming pause on his action drama series The Last Ship.

The following year, Rebecca filed for divorce on grounds of irreconcilable differences, and the pair agreed on joint custody of their daughters with Eric paying alimony.
Rebecca, who acted infrequently after having children, said a few months after her divorce filing that she wanted to start working again.
‘I think that as a female you need to be able to always take care of of yourself and never depend on a man,’ she told Us Weekly. ‘I’m going back to work and I think it’s partly because I want my daughters to see me work.’
She explained that she and Eric were ‘doing our best’ to co-parent their children, acknowledging: ‘It isn’t easy. But we are trying and we are committed.’
By June 2019 Rebecca was informed that her divorce case was in danger of being thrown out, Entertainment Tonight reported citing court documents.
‘If you fail to take the appropriate steps in your case, the court may dismiss your case for delay in prosecution,’ she was told in what was her third warning.
It then emerged on New Year’s Day 2020 that their divorce was still pending and they had not scheduled any hearings, according to The Blast.
The last step they took in their divorce before Rebecca filed to throw it out this week was reportedly an exchange of preliminary financial information in 2019.
