Heather Locklear has had a series of high-profile relationships, including romances with some of rock music’s biggest stars.
Her first notable relationship was with Tommy Lee. They crossed paths at an REO Speedwagon concert, leading to their marriage in 1986.
Despite Locklear’s early hopes for a lasting union, as she shared with People magazine, the couple parted ways in 1993 after nearly a decade together.
After her split from Lee, Locklear began a new chapter with another musician, Richie Sambora of Aerosmith. They wed in 1994 and welcomed their daughter Ava three years later. The couple separated in 2006 and finalized their divorce the following year.
Heather Locklear seems to maintain a cordial relationship with her ex-husband Tommy Lee. The Uptown Girls star, now 63, showed her support by “liking” a playful video Lee, 62, posted on Instagram on August 10. The clip humorously depicted the Mötley Crüe drummer giving a light-hearted tap to his wife Brittany Furlan. “Bad pool boy!!!!” Lee jokingly captioned the video, referencing the scene.
In addition to being married twice, Locklear had two failed engagements. She was previously engaged to Melrose Place costar Jack Wagner and former high school flame Chris Heisser.
After Us Weekly confirmed Locklear was single and ready to mingle, she moved on with Lorenzo Llamas.
