ERIC Dane’s girlfriend Janell Shirtcliff has broken her silence after his death.
The Grey’s Anatomy and Euphoria actor, 53, passed away after a courageous battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Janell, 42, took to her Instagram story to share a sweet tribute to the late actor, posting several of their fond memories together.
The first photo she posted was one of Eric sitting under the shade of a palm tree, smiling down at her.
The next was a selfie of the couple outside posing by a set of stairs. In the snap, Eric dropped a kiss on Janell’s head.
Others showed Eric generally happy and enjoying spending time with Janell as well as friends and family.
Then the final memory is a reel showing Eric with Janell’s daughter, whose name has not been publicly revealed.
She’s attempting to direct the actor while taking photos of him.
She says: “I want you to look over there at Mom,” to which he happily agreed.
When Eric noticed Janell pointing her phone at them both he said: “Are you taking videos?”

“It’s cute,” Janell replied back, and then they both laughed.
Eric revealed he had been diagnosed with ALS in April of last year.
It’s a rare condition that causes progressive muscle weakness over time, and it has no cure.
In the final months before his death he was confined to a wheelchair and he missed some media appearances.
When Eric passed, he was reportedly surrounded by loved ones including his daughters Billie and Georgia and his wife Rebecca Gayheart.
Eric and Rebecca were set to get divorced but Rebecca withdrew her divorce filing upon discovering Eric’s ALS diagnosis, and he continued dating Janell.
Eric and Rebecca tied the know in 2004 and stayed married until 2018 when Rebecca filed for divorce.
After years had passed the divorce proceedings hadn’t moved forward, and seven years later upon hearing Eric’s diagnosis Rebecca dismissed the paperwork.
Eric played the role of Cal Jacobs in the popular program Euphoria.
Cal is the father of Nate Jacobs, played by actor Jacob Elordi.
He played Dr. Mark Sloan during his time on Grey’s Anatomy.
