Locklear’s milestone birthday fell on September 25, and it seems that Lamas’ post served as an affectionate nod to their blossoming romance. The two stars have a long history, having first encountered one another over 40 years ago during a photo shoot for Playgirl magazine. However, their rekindled relationship marks a new chapter for both.
Speculation surrounding their relationship began in April, when a source confirmed that the pair were dating. Reports suggested that they had been together for several months, with the dating news first breaking via TMZ. The couple appeared publicly together in Las Vegas, prompting excitement among fans and followers alike.
In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, Lamas expressed his joy at finding love again, stating, “I’ve been through a lot of trial and error, and she is the most amazing woman that I think I’ve ever met.” His sincerity highlighted the significance of their connection as they navigate this new phase of life together.
Locklear, known for her roles in iconic television series, also shared her thoughts about their relationship during an appearance on the Hollywood & Divine podcast. She referred to Lamas as her “new boyfriend” and described the powerful feeling of love she has experienced. “I’m just like, when I tell this person I love him, I’m really saying, ‘I love you, God.’ Because that’s what happened. It’s from God,” she explained, vividly articulating the depth of her feelings.
Reflecting on her past relationships, Locklear has been married twice before. Her first marriage was to rock musician Tommy Lee from 1986 to 1993, followed by her union with Richie Sambora from 1994 to 2007. The couple shares a daughter, Ava Sambora, who is now 28 years old. Prior to her relationship with Lamas, Locklear was engaged to Chris Heisser for five years until they parted ways in May 2025.
Lamas himself has had a storied romantic history, having been married five times and fathering six children. His previous marriages include times with Michele Smith, Shauna Sand, and more recently, Kenna Scott, to whom he was married from 2023 to 2025. He shares a varied blend of family spanning several relationships, including a daughter, Paton, from his earlier relationship with Daphne Ashbrook.
With both Lamas and Locklear having navigated the complexities of life in the public eye, their relationship appears to have brought a renewed sense of joy and fulfilment to their lives.
