Eric Dane Is More Attracted To His Wife Now That She's A Mother

By . Posted on .

Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart
The Grey's Anatomy star waxes poetic about how he loves fatherhood and the woman who made him a dad.

Eric Dane recently confessed to People (via Celebtichy.com) about how he loves his wife, Rebecca Gayheart, so much more since she recently gave birth to their daughter Billie Beatrice. Eric Dane, Rebecca Gayheart Suing Gawker

It's nice to see Eric and Rebecca make headlines for something a bit more wholesome than a threesome sex tape while on cocaine. Seems like maybe bad-boy Dr. McSteamy's (nickname given to Eric's character on Grey's Anatomy) personality isn't too far off from the real-life Eric. Ironically enough, McSteamy also just became a father. CONTEST CLOSED! Describe Amazing Sex & Win A Trip To NYC + $1000!

And the fact that the actor says he is more attracted to his wife even more than when she made that scandalous video? Well, we think that just makes it even more touching. While we love that Eric finds the mother of his child sexy, we just hope this doesn't cause a slew of pregnancies among impressionable teen girls.

"I don’t know if there’s any change more significant that a human being can make than that of a woman becoming a mother. There’s no change more dramatic," said the Grey’s Anatomy star, 38. "You know, I’m a hundred times more attracted to her now and I love her exponentially more than I did before. It’s just great to see her be a mother."

The actor also can't help gushing about his little girl and their play-dates at the park.

"I like watching her laugh," he said. "Seeing this kid laugh when you put her on the swing, or slide down the slide with her, it’s just...She owns me."
