A video showing Grey’s Anatomy star Eric Dane, his wife Rebecca Gayheart and another women in apparently compromising positions is ancient history and had better not be used for commercial purposes, says an attorney for the married couple.

In a statement released Monday evening, the actor’s lawyer, Marty Singer, said of the tape being widely discussed and shown over the Internet: “This is simply a private, consensual moment involving a married couple, shot several years ago, which was never intended to be seen by the public.”

The statement continues: “Although the participants are nude, the tape is not a ’sex tape.’ It is a private tape made for only my clients’ personal use, and nobody has the right to exploit it. If anyone exploits the tape, they will be violating my clients’ rights and will be exposed to significant liability.”

The third woman in the video reportedly is Kari Ann Peniche, who in 2002 was crowned Miss Teen USA but was later stripped of the title after posing for Playboy.

In addition to his role as Dr. McSteamy on Grey’s Anatomy, Eric Dane has another job these days: starting a family.

During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show set to air Wednesday, the actor, 36, admitted he and his wife of four years, actress Rebecca Gayheart, also 36, would like to have children.

“We’re currently working on that,” he said. But he added the process hasn’t been simple.

“It’s funny because you get the doctors involved and they call you and it’s like, In eight days I’ll have to put in some work,” he explained. Then, he said, for four days, “I will be very busy and I probably shouldn’t schedule anything else.”

DeGeneres then suggested that four days of sex sounded like “tough work.”

“Hard work,” he agreed, “great if you can get it though.”

The actor also addressed recent rumors that his costars Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight will be leaving the ABC series. (In the past, Heigl has publically expressed unhappiness with her plotlines.)

“I worked with them this morning and they were both very present,” he said, noting only the show’s executive producer, Shonda Rhimes, could comment on their futures.

“Until the boss says this is going down, it’s not happening.”

With a nickname like “McSteamy,” you have to be hot. Grey’s Anatomy star Eric Dane dishes to Andrew Goldman about what not to ever ask a woman, why in real life he always keeps his shirt on, and how he stays close to his wife, actress Rebecca Gayheart.

On dating Lara Flynn Boyle while she was also dating Jack Nicholson:

“Jack Nicholson is Jack Nicholson. The guy’s a colossal personality and I’m sure he’s charming, andI bet she had a lot fun with him, but my take on the whole thing was, I’m 30. He’s 70. This is not going to go down like this. I couldn’t comprehend a 35-year-old woman gravitating toward a 70-year-old man.”

On what not to say to a woman:

“Never ask a woman when she’s due unless you know for a fact she’s expecting.”

On being faithful:

“After five years, I still love sleeping with my wife. And for me, that’s the best option out there.”

On being fit:

“Listen, dude, I go eat a sandwich for lunch and have a milk shake and miss going to the gym for 10days, and somebody snaps a picture of me on the beach, and all of a sudden, I’ve lost it. Why do I need to be perfect all the time? I don’t give a shit. Why should you?”

On a trait he envies in relationships:

“Sometimes I feel like I’m lacking a playfulness. I envy guys who are consistently able to maintain a playful, optimistic perspective on things.”
