Heather Locklear: A Life of Ups and Downs


Love has been elusive for Locklear as well. Before her marriage to Chris Heisser, she had two failed marriages, one to rock musician Tommy Lee and the other to Richie Sambora. They got engaged four years ago, which reignited their connection from when they were students at Newbury Park High School. Ava, who is a Locklear daughter from her marriage to Sambora, just got engaged to Tyler Farrar, after dating for four years. Locklear's journey to healing and atonement has undoubtedly been bolstered by the love and support of her child and fiancé.

A lot of Locklear's personal problems have surfaced, which is unfortunate. She has had several calls to the police station over the years. After her arrest in 2018 on accusations of domestic violence and assault on an officer, she became famous. Because of her guilty plea, Locklear was sentenced to 120 days of suspended prison and 30 days of forced mental health hospitalization.
