Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart

Grey's Anatomy star Eric Dane checked into a rehab clinic in Los Angeles. He seeks treatment for an addiction to painkillers. His rep says in a statement, "actor Eric Dane voluntarily checked himself into a treatment facility to help him get off of pain medication that he was prescribed for a sports injury that he suffered over the recent hiatus. He reports back to work this week. Business as usual."

News comes shortly after it was announced that McSteamy, 38, and his wife Rebecca Gayheart, 39, are expecting their second child together. Their daughter Billie Beatrice is 16 months old.
