It’s a romance four decades in the making.
“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.
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.”
