The former model wore a black and white polka dot dress, white blazer, black tights and red heels, teaming it with a matching red handbag. Morton coordinated with his girlfriend in a dark sweater, black pants and white sneakers.
Although the two have been linked for years, public sightings have been rare as Gayheart continues to experience what she describes as a “super complicated” relationship with ex-husband Eric Dane.

Gayheart and Dane, 53, married in 2004. They share two daughters: Billie, 15, and Georgia, 13.
The couple separated in 2018, but in April the divorce filing was withdrawn. A few weeks later, the “Grey’s Anatomy” actor announced that he had been diagnosed with ALS.

“I’m really trying to show [my daughters] that we show up for people no matter what. And he’s our family, he’s your father. We show up and we try to do it with a little dignity and grace and get through it, and we’ll do it the best we can,” she said. “I mean, it’s super complicated for me.”

Dane previously explained that he started feeling weakness in his right hand before seeking medical attention.
“I have a working arm,” he said during an interview on “Good Morning America.” “My left side works. My right side has completely stopped working. [My left arm] go. I have the impression that in a few months, a few more months, I will no longer have my left hand either. It’s food for thought.”
Dane was photographed in a wheelchair while leaving a Washington, D.C., airport in September. When a photographer asked him if he had a message for his fans, he responded briefly but hopeful: “Keep the faith.”
