Lorenzo Lamas Confirms He’s Dating Heather Locklear

by

Heather Locklear and Lorenzo Lamas are a love story straight out of the ’90s.

Following rumors about a possible romance, Lorenzo’s representative has confirmed to TopMob News that he and the former stars of Melrose Place and Falcon Crest are dating.

Heather, 64, and Lorenzo, 68, have been linked romantically for several months. Photos published by TMZ show them ringing in the New Year at Barry’s Steakhouse in Las Vegas’s Circa Resort & Casino. The couple was pictured with chef Barry Dakake and enjoying dishes straight from the kitchen.

News of their relationship arrives nearly a year after Heather called off her engagement to her high school boyfriend, Chris Heisser, in May 2025. The couple had been together for five years.

Before their breakup, the actress known as ‘Perfect Man’ revealed how effortless her relationship with Chris had been.

In 2021, she told People magazine that she considers her partner her life partner, regardless of whether they ever get married. She emphasized that marriage isn’t a priority for them, explaining that their love, commitment, and mutual support are what truly matter.

I’ve been following Heather Locklear’s life for years, and it’s been quite a journey! She was married to Tommy Lee from Mötley Crüe for a good stretch, from 1986 to 1993, and then she found love with Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi, tying the knot in 1994. They had a daughter, Ava, who’s now 28, and they were together until 2007. Later on, she and Jack Wagner from Melrose Place were engaged after dating for several years, from 2007 to 2011. It’s been interesting to watch her navigate all of that!

Lorenzo, known for his role in Body Rock, has been married six times and has six children. He shares A.J. Lamas, 42, and Shayne Lamas, 40, with his ex-wife Michele Smith. He also has daughters Alexandra Lamas, 28, Victoria Lamas, 26, and Isabella Lamas, 25, with ex-wife Shauna Sand. Additionally, he is the father of Paton Ashbrook, 37, with Daphne Ashbrook.

The popular actor has plenty of relationship advice, and he shared some of his key lessons with his daughter, Victoria, when she was reportedly dating Leonardo DiCaprio in 2022.

He explained to The New York Post that he advised her to approach the relationship like a vacation: “Enjoy it while it lasts, and don’t get too attached. If it goes beyond a short-term fling, that’s wonderful, but be sure to protect your feelings either way.”

In their book What Makes a Marriage Last, Hermann spoke about his marriage of over 20 years to Marlo Thomas, explaining he never expected so much laughter. He described a commitment to joy as a core part of who they are as a couple. He believes their marriage thrives because they love each other unconditionally, accepting each other fully – what he calls “grace.”

He also shared that finding humor is essential, even during disagreements. After a heated argument, one of them will often try to lighten the mood with a joke about the very thing they were fighting over. This allows them to reconnect and begin to resolve the issue. As Hermann explained, it’s about finding a way back to a place of shared understanding and rebuilding connection, which is a good sign that they’re on the path to reconciliation.

They’ve managed to avoid big changes in their relationship by consistently following the advice they received before getting married in 2003. Even with five children, they prioritize weekly date nights and have intentionally chosen not to buy a television, opting for other ways to stay connected.

Chip says his biggest piece of advice is to passionately pursue the person you love. After twenty years, he still approaches their relationship like he’s trying to win a second date. He jokes that while he can’t guarantee anything, his wife won’t ever feel unloved or neglected – he’s always made sure to tell her he loves her, send flowers, and remember their anniversary.

Kevin Bacon jokingly advises against taking relationship advice from celebrities, reflecting on his 36-year marriage. He and his wife have a simple rule: “Keep the fights clean and the sex dirty,” which they use to quickly shut down any further discussion about their personal life.

In reality, they prioritize resolving disagreements quickly and avoid prolonged arguments. As Bacon’s wife explained, they focus on finding solutions rather than winning. They simply don’t enjoy fighting and want to restore peace as soon as possible. Ultimately, she emphasized that they are committed to making things work, because they have no backup plan – their relationship is their priority, no matter what challenges they face.

After over 37 years of marriage, these actors have learned how to argue respectfully. As one of them explained, they avoid bringing up past hurts. Many couples tend to attack each other’s weaknesses, but they make a point not to do that.

They do have disagreements, of course. One admits to often wanting to take back insensitive comments, but realizes that doesn’t help. Instead, he lets his wife take the lead and gives her space to cool down. She, in turn, tries to be understanding, reminding herself that even when he says something hurtful, he’s a good person who likely didn’t intend to cause pain.

Speaking on Today in December 2024, just before their 40th wedding anniversary, Curtis shared that Christopher Guest still makes her laugh more than anyone else. She playfully added that he must find something to like about her, even if she doesn’t know what it is.

Neil Patrick Harris believes the key to his long-lasting relationship is accepting that relationships are constantly changing and hard to define. After 21 years together, navigating career changes (including his partner David Burtka’s cookbook release in 2019), raising twins Gideon and Harper, and facing challenges, Harris explained that marriage is never static. He shared that even intimacy evolves – what starts exciting can become routine, requiring couples to find new ways to connect and rekindle attraction as they age. Ultimately, he said, you begin to fall in love with a person’s character, and then with their physical self again. It’s a continuous process of change, and in a way, they keep rediscovering their love for each other in different forms.

The comedic duo genuinely believe that laughter extends their lives, and this isn’t just a feeling tied to their nearly two decades together. The actress from Can You Ever Forgive Me? explained that whenever they share a particularly hilarious moment – the kind that leaves them breathless – they calculate how much extra life it’s given them. She jokingly keeps a running tally, adding months to her lifespan after each big laugh.

They also limit how long disagreements can last. Following the common advice to not go to bed angry, Falcone shared that she once tried letting an argument linger overnight, only to realize she’d forgotten what she was even upset about. She believes trying to resolve issues when everyone is tired or has had a drink is unproductive. She’s never experienced a late-night argument ending with a satisfying resolution and a signed truce.

Both had been married previously when they met in 1995, and quickly found themselves blending families, each with two children. The actor, known for Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, explained, “I realized right away these kids already have a mother—and it wasn’t me. So I asked myself, what could I offer?” She decided to be a supportive presence. “Everyone needs a cheerleader,” she thought, “and you can never have too many. I focused on being that person—not on setting rules, discipline, or trying to teach them right from wrong. They already had parents for that.”

Her husband, famous from Cheers, completely agreed. “Offering yourself as a friend is a really smart approach,” he said. “Letting them know you won’t discipline or judge them, but that you’ll simply be there to hang out and support them—that’s what matters. You have to be genuinely present for them.”

I’ve been following their love story for years, and it’s truly inspiring. When civil unions became legal in Britain, David and David – yes, both Davids! – immediately formalized their relationship with a ceremony on December 21, 2005. Then, nine years later, they were overjoyed to actually marry on that same date. But what they celebrate most isn’t even the legal milestones; it’s the night they unexpectedly met! It was back in 1993 at a dinner party at David’s flat in Windsor – a friend had thoughtfully put them on the guest list.

What really gets me is their dedication. Every Saturday, no matter where they are in the world, they write each other a handwritten note. They’ve been doing this for years, and they estimate they’ve written around 1,352 letters! David Furnish says there’s something incredibly special and genuine about handwriting, and that the cards are a chance to reflect and connect. Elton agrees completely, saying that open communication is key to a lasting relationship, and it’s a big part of what’s made theirs so successful.

After quietly building a 40-year marriage – she even had dreams about meeting him six months before they did – they’ve made a conscious effort to keep their relationship strong, even as their lives have changed.

“Marriage is our top priority,” she explained. “We actively work at it and refocus when we start to drift apart.” If she could offer one piece of advice, it would be to always prioritize that connection. He passionately affirmed his devotion, saying he’d do anything for her – face any challenge or hardship – and would never let anything come between them.

He emphasized that if you value marriage and its impact on your happiness, you must protect it at all costs.

You know, ABC’s Roberts isn’t one for pointless small talk, and she used to really dislike those ‘just checking in’ phone calls. She’d get frustrated when people called just to ask ‘What’s up?’ But a friend really changed her perspective. This friend pointed out that maybe this person just felt comforted hearing her voice – like everything was okay in the world when he connected with her. It was such a sweet thought, and she realized she’d never considered it that way. If it meant something to him, she decided, it should matter to her too. Now, she takes a deep breath and responds with something like, ‘Hey sweetie, I’m a bit busy, but what’s new with you?’ She makes sure to be warm and let him know she’s happy to hear from him, even if she has to wrap up the call quickly. It makes all the difference to him, and honestly, it doesn’t take much effort on her part to be kind for a couple of minutes. They just celebrated 29 years together in September 2024, and it’s a beautiful thing to witness.

Their almost 30-year marriage started building its foundation early on. They recall even small arguments—like when the actor once threw the talk show host’s ring out the window—feeling potentially disastrous. As the LIVE With Kelly and Ryan host explained, the beginning of a marriage is often tough, with financial stress, career challenges, and raising children all contributing to tension. But her husband, Mark, taught her the importance of stepping away and taking a moment to breathe. She realized that these moments weren’t dealbreakers. Now, as parents of three, they’re seeing the rewards of that lesson. He believes that truly happy couples have faced difficult times and overcome them, and that’s something to celebrate.

I’ve always been fascinated by their relationship! She describes herself as an introvert, almost a loner, while he’s the life of the party – he even calls himself the ‘mayor of everywhere’! They’re total opposites – she’s a bit messy, and he’s a bit of a perfectionist, as one might expect from an Oscar winner. But they’ve been married since 2003 and have clearly figured things out; they just let each other be themselves.

She actually shared the best advice for anyone getting married. She says marriage isn’t about the wedding day, it starts much earlier. It begins when you look at the person you love and realize they have this one thing – a habit or personality trait – that you know is going to annoy you. You think, ‘Oh, this might be tough!’ But then, instantly, you remember why you love them, and that’s when your marriage really begins. It’s so true!

Maintaining a long-term relationship, especially one lasting 50 years, requires quickly resolving conflicts. Jane Fonda, star of Grace and Frankie, explained that she usually takes the lead in apologizing. She finds it easy because she deeply loves her partner and hates to see them feel alone, even for a short time. Ideally, she aims to prevent arguments altogether. She’s learned that saying hurtful things in anger will ultimately cause you more pain later, as you’ll regret the words spoken to someone you care about. This creates a double dose of anger, which isn’t healthy for you or the relationship.

It’s fitting that Jerry, a former judge, says his long marriage to the famous Judge Judy works because he usually lets her have the final say. For her, it’s simply about accepting someone for who they are, even when you don’t always agree with their decisions. Their marriage initially ended after 12 years in 1990 when he wasn’t able to provide the support she needed after her father passed away. However, they quickly remarried a year later, and she understood he wouldn’t suddenly become a homemaker or take charge of planning events.

She explained plainly, “Every relationship is unique, but unhappiness often comes from trying to change someone. You can try, but they’ll always resent it.” Her advice is simple: “Don’t marry someone expecting them to be different than they are.”

The actor from Lost credits his wife with being the rock of their family. He told TopMob News in April 2025 that her patience and support while he travels for work have been invaluable. He described her as ‘fantastic’ and essential to their family’s stability.

The actor described his wife as incredibly patient, and said she and their two sons always keep him grounded, no matter what challenges he faces.

“They shape my values,” he added. “It’s great to have that perspective and North Star.”
