Lorenzo Lamas Finally Breaks His Silence on Heather Locklear Romance, Calls Her an Amazing Woman

File this under 80s nostalgia I did not have on my 2026 bingo card: Lorenzo Lamas and Heather Locklear are officially dating again, four decades after that very memorable Playgirl cover shoot first put them in the same room. Yes, really.

From a 1983 photoshoot to a 2026 soft launch

Lamas, 68, told Fox News Digital in an interview published Wednesday, April 29, that he is all in on Locklear, 64. His words, not mine:

"I have been through a lot of trial and error, and she is the most amazing woman that I think I have ever met."

"The short answer is no," he added when asked if he ever expected the relationship to come full circle.

Their origins go back to 1983, when they posed together for a Playgirl cover while both were riding peak primetime waves — Locklear on Dynasty and Lamas on Falcon Crest. The shoot leaned into the era: her in a bikini, him in a Speedo.

Fast-forward more than 40 years. Early April brought fresh photos via TMZ of the two spending New Year’s Eve together in Las Vegas, which kicked the rumor mill into gear. Lamas' rep then confirmed the relationship to Us Weekly on April 10.

First official outing

The couple made their first public appearance as a confirmed item at the 2026 Chiller Theatre Expo — the long-running horror and sci-fi convention — in New Jersey on Sunday, April 26. Both wore black, and Locklear was spotted leaning into Lamas' chest with her arms wrapped around his waist. Subtle? Not really. Effective? Absolutely.

Where they were before this

Locklear has been single since at least May 2025, when multiple sources told Us Weekly she had split from fiance Chris Heisser, her high school sweetheart she reconnected with in 2020 and got engaged to that June. At the time, insiders said she was focusing on herself and doing well — and now here we are.

Their relationship histories at a glance

• Heather Locklear: Married Tommy Lee from 1986 to 1993. Married Richie Sambora in 1994; they welcomed daughter Ava, 28, and split in 2007. Briefly engaged to her Melrose Place costar Jack Wagner in 2011. Later got engaged to Chris Heisser in June 2020; the breakup was reported in May 2025.
• Lorenzo Lamas: Married Victoria Hilbert in 1981 (split in 1982). Married Michele Smith from 1983 to 1985 and shares two kids with her: A.J., 42, and Shayne, 40. Dated Daphne Ashbrook from 1986 to 1988 and shares daughter Paton, 37. Married Kathleen Kinmont from 1989 to 1993. Married Shauna Sand from 1996 to 2002 and shares daughters Alexandra, 28, Victoria, 27, and Isabella, 25. Married Shawna Craig from 2011 to 2018. Married Kenna Scott from 2023 to 2025.

So, what does this all add up to?

A very Hollywood full-circle moment that actually makes sense: two TV fixtures who met at their most 80s, drifted apart, then reconnected decades later and decided to give it a real shot. Lamas is openly smitten, the timing lines up for both of them, and their first con-floor stroll was basically a quiet hard launch. We will see where it goes, but as far as blasts from the past go, this one is oddly satisfying.
