Heather Locklear is positively glowing amid her just-confirmed romance with a fellow 90s star, “Falcon Crest” and “Renegade” alum Lorenzo Lamas, more than four decades after they posed together for a eyebrow-raising magazine cover.
On April 10, 2026, TMZ first reported that Locklear, 64, and Lamas, 68, had been secretly dating for several months, publishing photos of the happy couple in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve. The news comes one year after Locklear’s split from her fiancé and former high school sweetheart, Chris Heisser, and nine months after Lamas filed for divorce from his sixth wife.
Heather Locklear & Lorenzo Lamas’ Grown Kids Are Expected to Meet This Weekend
Photos published by TMZ showed Locklear and Lamas at Barry’s Steakhouse in Las Vegas’ Circa Resort & Casino, hanging out in the restaurant’s kitchen with Chef Barry Dakake. Onlookers also told TMZ that the 80s and 90s stars looked very cozy at a private table together. Not long after the pictures were published, a source also confirmed to Page Six that Locklear and Lamas have been dating.
According to TMZ’s report, the couple’s grown children from their previous relationships are set to meet this weekend. Locklear shares 28-year-old daughter Ava Sambora with her ex-husband, former Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora. She and her first husband, former Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, didn’t have any children together.
Lamas, meanwhile, has six kids and has been married six times, per TMZ; he and the late publicist Michele Smith had A.J. and Shayne, he and ex-wife Shauna Sand welcomed three daughters — Victoria, Isabella, and Alexandra — and he also shares daughter Paton with ex-girlfriend Daphne Ashbrook.
According to People, Lamas was also married to Victoria Hilbert from 1981 to 1982, Kathleen Kinmont from 1989 to 1993, Shawna Craig from 2011 to 2018, and Kenna Scott from 2023 to 2025. He filed for divorce from Scott last July after 19 months of marriage.
Lorenzo Lamas Shared His Throwback Playgirl Cover With Heather Locklear in December
Though their romance may be relatively new, Locklear and Lamas have known each other for decades. On December 4, Lamas tweeted a throwback photo of them posing in swimsuits on the July 1983 cover of Playgirl, back when Locklear was starring on “T.J. Hooker” and “Dynasty.”
It’s not known whether the two had begun dating by early December, but he tweeted about their old magazine cover, “I cannot believe that this was 43 years ago! Side note, speedos on request only #HeatherLocklear #Playgirl #80s”
The following day, on December 5, Lamas also enthusiastically promoted the “What Do You Want” podcast Locklear co-hosts with her longtime friends, broadcaster Jillian Barberie and nurse Melanie Mancil.
He tweeted, “Attention Peeps! Check out WDYW Podcast with these amazing women. I’m a dude and I’m hooked! Forget the boring network talkshows, this is so funny and actually helpful for health, relationships and current headlines. Do it!”
Locklear’s most recent acting credit was a starring role in the TV movie “Mormon Mom Gone Wrong: The Ruby Franke Story.” Lamas, meanwhile, appeared in the 2025 Tubi movie “President Down” and Hallmark movie “Love in the Clouds,” per IMDb, after undergoing hip replacement surgery early in the year.
Lorenzo has been married six times, Heather. Do you really think that is a recipe for a lasting relationship? I’d hold off on getting the kids together.
