Despite news of their divorce last year, the couple attended the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s 2024 Oscars Party together and posed smilingly for photos.
Eric, dressed in a smart black tuxedo, and Janet – who wore a silver sequined dress with long, sparkly gloves and a matching clutch – were also seen holding hands.
After 26 years of marriage, Janet filed for divorce from Will & Grace star, 60, in November 2023, citing “irreconcilable differences,” according to court documents. In the filing, she sought spousal support and asked the court to terminate Eric’s ability to receive spousal support.
Although she did not specify a date for the separation, the divorce filing was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court the day before Thanksgiving.
The couple first linked up in 1994 on the set of a CBS TV show Lonesome Dovewhere Janet worked as an assistant director and Eric played Colonel Francis Clay Mosby.
