Whatever Happened To Rebecca Gayheart?

Rebecca Gayheart became a mother in 2010. She and her then-husband Eric Dane welcomed their first child together on March 3, a girl named Billie Beatrice. Their daughter was named after Dane’s father, and he revealed that their first child was always going to be Billie, regardless of the baby’s sex. According to a source, the couple had been trying to conceive for a long time.

Shortly after Billie turned 1, Gayheart opened up to OK! magazine about the milestones her daughter had reached. “Oh my gosh, she is walking now, she is talking now!” she said. “She is only 15 months, so she has about four words. She says, ‘Mama!’ ‘Dada’ is one. She says ‘Ball,’ she says ‘Hi,’ and she says, ‘Duck!’” The actress also said she was excited to have more children with Dane.

Gayheart also gushed about her daughter’s musical talents, telling People that she loved to twirl and sing. And like most mothers, Gayheart had to find creative ways to get her to eat healthy food. “She doesn’t want to eat her vegetables right now,” she said. “I’m sneaking it into food, so she doesn’t know she’s eating them, but she is!”

While the actress admitted she missed acting and is excited to return to work one day, no job will compare to motherhood. “When I’m with [Billie] there’s nowhere else in the world I want to be. Because I’m where I’m supposed to be,” she said.
