Heather Locklear and Lorenzo Lamas will make their first public appearance as a couple at the Chiller Theatre Expo in Parsippany, New Jersey, from April 24–26. The announcement came after a representative for Lamas confirmed to E! News that the pair are dating.
A Long-Awaited Public Outing
Lamas shared the news on X (formerly Twitter), writing, 'Looking forward to seeing all of my peeps. She is too.' The couple has been rumored to be together since TMZ reported they celebrated New Year's Eve in Las Vegas. Representatives for Locklear and Lamas did not respond to requests for comment.
A Relationship with History
Locklear and Lamas have known each other for over 40 years, dating back to their early Hollywood careers in the 1980s. A 1983 issue of Playgirl magazine featured them on the cover in swimwear, though they were not romantically involved at the time. Lamas recently shared the cover on X, noting it was taken 43 years ago.
Past Relationships and Public Interest
Locklear, 64, was previously married to Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee and Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora. She ended a five-year engagement to Chris Heisser in May 2023. Lamas, 68, has been married five times. The couple was first seen together in November at a dinner party in Buffalo, New York, and later at The Brave & Rescued Awards in Los Angeles.
Public Appearances and Family Introductions
TMZ reported that Locklear recently met Lamas' children and grandchildren at her Thousand Oaks, California, mansion. The couple then attended a movie together. Their relationship has drawn attention due to their decades-long Hollywood careers and past high-profile romances.
