Gayheart and Dane announced their divorce after 14 years of marriage in February 2018. “After 14 years together we have decided that ending our marriage is the best decision for our family,” Dane said in a statement to PEOPLE. “We will continue our friendship and work as a team to co-parent our two beautiful girls as they are the most important thing in the world to us. We kindly ask that you respect our privacy during this time as we navigate the next phase of our lives.”
Gayheart filed for divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court, The Blast reported at the time. She sought joint legal and physical custody of their daughters and spousal support. She listed “TBD” as the date of separation.
