Motherhood is sexy. Just ask McSteamy himself.

Grey’s Anatomy” star Eric Dane told People he’s “a hundred times more attracted” to wife Rebecca Gayheart since welcoming daughter Billie last year.

“And I love her exponentially more than I did before,” he added. “It’s just great to see her be a mother.”

In just one year Gayheart, 39, is back to her incredible pre-baby body, but it’s clear Dane, 38, is more fixated on the emotional and mental impact parenthood has had on her.

“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,” he told the magazine. “There’s no change more dramatic.”

But Dane can’t deny that he’s been extremely affected as well by his 14-month-old tot, whom he can count on for “unconditional love.”

“Seeing this kid laugh when you put her on the swing, or slide down the slide with her,” the actor said, “it’s just … she owns me.”
