Eric Dane has revealed that he has become more attracted to wife Rebecca Gayheart since the pair became parents.

The couple welcomed daughter Billie Beatrice in March 2010, an event which the Grey's Anatomy actor revealed produced a significant change in Gayheart.

"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," he explained to People.

"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."

He went on to say that he is crazy about 14-month-old Billie, adding: "I like watching her laugh. Seeing this kid laugh when you put her on the swing, or slide down the slide with her, it's just... She owns me."

Dane and Gayheart first announced the pregnancy in November 2009.

They married on October 29, 2004.
