- Lorenzo Lamas gushes about new girlfriend Heather Locklear, weeks after his publicist confirmed they were "seeing each other."

- Romance rumors began in December after they were spotted celebrating New Year's Eve in Las Vegas.

- The actors, who both got their start on soap operas, first crossed paths when they shared the July 1983 cover of *Playgirl*.

It’s a romance four decades in the making.

Lorenzo Lamas and Heather Locklear have found love 43 years after the TV icons first got cozy on the July 1983 cover of *Playgirl*.

“I’ve been through a lot of trial and error, and she is the most amazing woman that I think I’ve ever met,” gushed Lamas, who has been divorced six times, to Fox News at the 2026 Chiller Theatre Expo.

The couple made their official debut at the horror/sci-fi convention in Parsippany, N.J., where the actress had a booth signing autographs for fans. Lamas, 68, and Locklear, 64, held hands as they arrived at the event. Inside, the two hugged as they posed for photos.

Weeks earlier, a representative for the *Falcon Crest* actor confirmed the two “are seeing each other” after TMZ published snapshots of Lamas and Locklear celebrating New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas at Barry’s Steakhouse inside the Circa Resort & Casino.

At the time in early April, a source also revealed the couple’s adult children had plans to “hang out” that weekend.

Locklear is mom to 28-year-old Ava Sambora, her daughter with Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, whom she was married to for 12 years. Lamas has six kids with three women: son A.J., 43, and daughter Shayne, 41, with second wife Michele Smith; daughter Paton, 37, with ex-girlfriend Daphne Ashbrook; and daughters Alexandra, 28, Victoria, 27, and Isabella, 25, with fourth wife Shauna Sand.

Locklear and Lamas, who both got their starts on soap operas in the early 1980s —*Dynasty* and *Falcon Crest*, respectively — were in serious relationships until last summer.

The *Melrose Place* actress, who was previously engaged to costar Jack Wagner in 2011, was set to marry former motocross racer Chris Heisser, whom she first dated back in high school. Five years after he proposed, Locklear and Heisser still hadn’t headed down the aisle and went their separate ways in May 2025.

The following month, the *Renegade* actor filed for divorce from his wife of less than two years, Kenna Scott. The former model broke her silence on Instagram with a video montage of highlights from their marriage.

“You always said ‘we packed a lot of life into our time together,’” Scott captioned the post. “All I ever wanted was to love you and take care of you til our dying days. But you had different plans for us. I truly hope you find the happiness you search for but haven’t found.”
