Eric Dane stepped out in public for the first time since announcing his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis.
The “Euphoria” star was photographed out and about in Los Angeles on Sunday, making sure to cozy up in a cardigan sweater.
Dane, 52, also wore a white T-shirt under his cream-colored sweater, a pair of tan pants and some black loafers for the outing.
In one of the pictures, the actor was seen with a friend in the background.
The “Grey’s Anatomy” alum revealed he was diagnosed with the muscular disease last Thursday — weeks after calling off his divorce from Rebecca Gayheart.
“I have been diagnosed with ALS,” he told People at the time. “I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter.”
He also asked that everyone respect his and his family’s privacy during the difficult time.
After calling off their divorce, Gayheart also clarified the couple’s relationship, making it clear that they are “staying a family” and remain the “best of friends.”
“We are really close. We are great co-parents,” Gayheart, 53, told E! News at “The Carters: Hurts To Love You” screening in Los Angeles last week.
The “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum, who shares kids Billie, 15, and Georgia, 13, with Dane, added that she feels their children are “benefitting greatly” from their decision to stick together.
Gayheart initially filed for divorce in February 2018, citing irreconcilable differences
Despite recently receiving the grim diagnosis, Dane is still expected to return to work this week as he continues to star in HBO’s “Euphoria” as Cal Jacobs.
“I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to set of ‘Euphoria’ next week,” he told the outlet.
Filming on Season 3 of the popular drama was delayed due to several internal and external forces including creative difference among the cast, the 2023 writers strike, and Angus Cloud’s shocking death in July 2023.
The forthcoming installment is expected to premiere sometime in 2026, per Deadline.
