Rebecca Gayheart and her mega-mogul boyfriend Peter Morton quietly split last year, sources tell Page Six, parting ways before the death of her husband Eric Dane.

Gayheart and Hard Rock Cafe founder Morton were first linked in 2023 when they were photographed in L.A. on a double date with model Claudia Schiffer and her husband Matthew Vaughn.

A source tells us the pair broke up nearly a year ago, in April 2025.

They were last spotted holding hands and giving each other a kiss on the lips in December while leaving E-Baldi in Beverly Hills, Calif.

A source tells us that despite appearances, it was not a date. We’re told the pair had run into each other and wound up catching up.

“They are still friendly,” says a source.

Morton’s father is Arnie Morton, founder of the Morton’s Steakhouse chain.

He and his partners sold their stake in the Hard Rock Cafe restaurants to the Rank Organization for $410 million in 1996. In May 2006, he  and his partners sold the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas to the Morgans Hotel Group Company for $770 million.

He was previously married to Paulene Stone and Tarlton Pauley. He also had a relationship with Linda Evangalista.

Success runs in Morton’s family. His late son Harry was an owner in the Viper Room and founded Pink Taco. Son Matthew founded the popular Cha Cha Matcha and daughter Grace works as vice president of production and development for Taylor Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch Productions.

Gayheart was married to Eric Dane from 2004 until his death from ALS in Febraury.

The pair were separated and Gayheart had filed for divorce in 2018. She dismissed the filing last March following Dane’s diagnosis.

“Eric knows that I am always going to want the best for him,” she wrote in The Cut in December. “That I’m going to do my best to do right by him. And I know he would do the same for me. So whatever I can do or however I can show up to make this journey better for him or easier for him, I want to do that.”

“We wanna take advantage of the time that he has right now,” Gayheart wrote. “He made it very clear that he wants to spend time with his family as much as possible, and I am committed to facilitating that.”

Uma Thurman built an A-list career without ever planting roots in Hollywood, and the actress exclusively told InStyle that skipping Los Angeles may have cost her a deeper connection to the industry.

Despite cementing her status as both an A-list actress and an action star in “Kill Bill,” Thurman made a choice to stay rooted in New York.

“I actually always wished I had moved to Los Angeles,” she admitted during a cover interview.

At one point, the actress nearly made the move out west as her Hollywood career kept pulling her to California.

“I even got an apartment there at one point because I was working there really frequently, and as soon as I signed the lease, I got pregnant with my daughter within, like, six weeks.”

Instead of settling in Los Angeles, Thurman pivoted, choosing family over being close to Hollywood.

However, Thurman added that although the decision was practical, it came with trade-offs.

“I never did time in Los Angeles, and because of that, I kind of never integrated into the community of my own profession, and I think that’s too bad,” she continued.

Rather than building connections within Hollywood circles, Thurman found her sense of community elsewhere, much closer to home.

“I had more of a community with the other mothers at pickup on 16th Street and Rutherford Place, and that’s OK. But I wish I’d had that chapter. I think I really would have liked it.”

Still, Thurman makes clear she doesn’t dwell on missed opportunities.

“I think the choice to be happy is one that should be made, regardless of any conditions,” she said.

Thurman was previously married to actor Ethan Hawke. The couple met while filming “Gattaca” in 1997.

In 2004, Thurman filed for divorce from Hawke after being separated for several years.

The couple married in 1998, and their divorce was finalized in 2005. The two share two children, Maya and Levon.

Thurman and Hawke have both moved on to new relationships after their divorce

Hawke married Ryan Shawhughes in 2008, and they share two daughters, Clementine and Indiana.

Thurman dated Arpad Busson, and the pair became engaged in 2008 before splitting in 2009. The pair were off and on until breaking up for good in 2014. They welcomed their daughter, Luna, in 2012.

Judy Garland was “always” meant to sing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” despite a longtime rumor that Shirley Temple was considered the top choice to play Dorothy in “The Wizard of Oz.”

Garland’s daughter, Lorna Luft, set the record straight during a live Q&A at the Palazzo Theatre the Venetian Resort Las Vegas on Monday night.

Luft, whose the daughter of Garland and Sidney Luft – and half sister of Liza Minnelli – confirmed the role “was always, always for my mom. Okay? They never had anybody else in mind.”

Garland wasn’t as big of a child star as Temple at the time, but the latter still has ties to the film.

Luft explained that due to the rising cost of the 1939 Hollywood classic, Loew’s Theatres wanted a bigger star, “someone who had starred in many, many movies as a child,” she said.

Child stars didn’t come any bigger than Temple at that time. “So, they went to L.B. Mayer, the head of MGM, and they said, ‘Please consider Shirley Temple.’ And he said, ‘Not on your life.’” Luft claimed.

Mayer, however, eventually gave in and “sent the great head of the music department, Roger Edens, over to 20th Century Fox,” Luft shared.

Edens audition her and the verdict was: “She’s got killer dimples, but she can’t sing this movie,” Luft said.

“So, my mom became Dorothy forever. Just to put that a little bit to sleep,” she added.

Luft also revealed she met her years later and she told her, “‘I just want you to know something. I could have never, ever done what your mom did in ‘The Wizard of Oz,’” she said. “And I thought that was really, really kind – and very gracious,” Luft concluded.
